I was actually thinking of this mailing list message from Hauke: http://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2023-March/040749.html Has that decision changed in light of the ipq40xx boot problems? --- Note: Whoops. I initially replied only to Paul Spooren instead of replying to all, so now I’m resending so it will go to the list. Sorry about that. ___ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel

Re: 22.03.4 and 21.02.6 were officially announced 3 days ago, but only partially.
There are also some dead or out-of-date links on the wiki when I looked a day or two ago. You people at OpenWRT need a checklist and a tiny bit of formality and discipline to your processes. This has been a long-term problem and has been brought up many many times. At least they have end-user oriented mailing lists now. For years it was like end-users didn't exist and releases were not announced in any way at all.
