Would be really great! I would love to have a device like this to 
combine router, home automation and home NAS on a single device. So it 
should have at least have the capability for high performance storage, a 
removable mid to high performance backup storage (USB-C 3.x) and at 
least 1 other USB port for all kinds of wired and wireless home 
automation connectivity (P1 power meter, Zigbee, IO Home Control,...). 
I've seen the discussion on the internal USB hub. I think it is worth it 
to add more ports. External USB hubs are a pain for 24x7 use.

These devices are more than powerful enough (given sufficient RAM!) to 
run several VM instances for those tasks.

Maybe join forces with the Home Assistant guys to have this "two" as a 
supported platform where OpenWRT is the base OS and HA runs fully (with 
add-ons) as docker instances. They might then also be interested in 
making a HA branded edition as they did with the ODROID N2+ (HA Blue).

BR,
Bas.
