Thanks for creating this page. If I understand it correctly, we are talking about:

1. All targets to kernel 5.10 (I think we said we'd drop support for those that cannot move to 5.10)
2. Import/backport mac80211 from the 5.15 kernel
3. GCC 11.2 & musl 1.2.x (done)
4. Switch to firewall4 by default
5. Switch lantiq target to DSA (done)
6. (Minor? No?) changes to LuCI
7. Nothing else

Questions:

- Is this a correct summary of what we're talking about for the next release?

- Could we accomplish all this by year-end? Who would be over-burdened by choosing that target date?

- If this is feasible, we could branch in January, with a generous time for several RC's, with a plan to ship 22.03 in March.

- What (if anything) would be left out if we "only did this"?

Thanks!
