I think I replied in some other mail that I think we need to
be backwards compatible and it's not too hard to do
both. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

Yeah it was more of a hobby, partly research for a lecture
on maintaining old ARM systems and all dangerous aftermarket
devices that is littering the world.
Since I have noticed that the adoption of OpenWRT/LEDE goes
far beyond routers and it is one of the most prevalent
distributions that is existing in the IoT of darkness on the
planet being the most deployed OS for bitcoin mining and
being picked up for functional safety (such as automotive)
because of its minimalist userspace.
I'm still amazed by the weirdness of our business.

I'm going through my mailbox now, sorry for delays in feedback
and review :(
