Yes and I got the answer from your mail to Yousong:

There are dozen ways to have devices for CN market in other parts of
the the world.
If there is no easier/ready way to switch from official firmware to
OpenWrt on those devices, I'm not convinced about keeping official
support for them in OpenWrt repository, but it's just mine opinion.

Cheers,
