Some Cerowrt updates

For those who are looking forward to the 1.0 release of the Cerowrt bufferbloat-fighting router distribution, Dave Täht has posted a status update. "In summary, it IS possible to build a device far superior to anything shipped today, one that can set an example for the rest of the industry, save everyone time, and hassle, and do it for very low cost, AND consisting almost purely of software that can be applied to any hardware with the same capabilities, thus introducing competition to drive the costs down while holding the desirable feature set to a whole new standard." There is discussion of reducing the feature set to make the distribution more manageable, though; possible "puppies to shoot" include bind9 and ISC-ntp, mesh networking, and extensive IPv6 support.
