That would be ideal, but I am doubtful, unless part(y|ies) involved have
a major change of heart.

You sound like you know more than I about this.  It was a guess.  Only
actual information will really answer the question.

Based on https://lede-project.org/wp-org@wwsnet.net.mbox it was merely
an idea until early March, and again, to me indicates that things going
on in the OpenWrt project that pushed the LEDE team to the breaking
point, and which, contrary to Mike's email, were not being addressed (as
Felix pointed out in his response, which I'm not sure if was accepted on
this list, although it was in the To:).
