Hi Daniel,

May I ask you to point to which e-mail are you referring to? We are yet 
to see an official line from LEDE on what they want to see to happen in 
OpenWrt (setting aside the FUD some LEDE members have shown on the 
list). The IRC discussion did not happen due to being unable to work out 
the timezone differences, the conversation on the mailing list did not 
move forward - this is obviously an issue on our side as well.

The official line - which I should have sent out a few days ago - from 
the OpenWrt team is:
----

Felix's initial comment was LEDE to become a "development environment" 
for new ideas, and to keep OpenWrt as the standard distro. We have 
stayed away from committing to OpenWrt trunk to keep a clean sheet 
according to this, to let LEDE members cleanly and easily merge their 
changes. (Apologies to all contributors for not pushing their patches so 
far). Luka - as no objections but only praises were received - plans to 
do the proposed github move later this week, which will help with the 
workflow for contributors.

What we would like is to:
- Ask the LEDE members currently maintaining targets to update their 
targets,
- Ask the LEDE members to tell us about terms and wishes for reunite. 
Currently there is no official word from LEDE on this, which is quite 
confusing.

We will start merging the pending patches in patchwork this week to get 
trunk back into a healthy state while discussions are underway. LEDE 
patches will also be brought in where appropriate.

Regards,
The OpenWrt team
