IMHO it's changed it's >> target compared to OpenWrt. But includes OpenWrt's use cases. I do not think LEDE has changed its targeted devices from OpenWrt. I have also seen OpenWrt on a desk phone, but this is not the normal use case. The main use case is something that routes IP traffic. I have no problem in supporting NAS devices and so on. > I agree that OpenWRT has grown out of being just a distribution for > wireless routers and the LEDE split is a good moment to make that clear. > Also "wireless" more or less has become a standard component of many > embedded devices. > > But more importantly: With the introduction of libubox, ubus, procd, > UCI, netifd, etc OpenWRT has become more than a linux distribution, it > has become a *platform*.

With this answer I wanted to point out that nothing really changed about the targeted devices from OpenWrt to LEDE, because I was asked this question. There were some changes, but they also apply to recent OpenWrt versions and are not only related to LEDE.
