I would also think its time to branch 18.[something-soon], and rather 
than focus on work that needs yet to be completed, look to cut hardware 
and packages that are not ready for a release. There is always some 
heart ache when such decisions are made, but at a point those decisions 
do need to be made. Without an official release to punctuate both the 
core team and other packagers hard work, OpenWrt/LEDE could risk losing 
support from the community and its limited sponsorship. I imagine this 
project means something personally to the core team, so those risks 
should be considered.
