LEDE and OpenWrt

Ambush? Are you for real? A group of developers decided to Fork and move their effort to that fork. Outsiders to the group don't get to declare it an ambush and claim it was created in "secret". Well I suppose you can but your position has no merit whatsoever. People have the right to associate with whoever they want, donate their developer time however they want and you don't have a say or get a say. That is how things work.

Would it have been better if they just finally got tired of the problems and simply walked away from any development? Because I don't think that would be better. I wish both sides luck, but LEDE deserves credit for not just breaking out of a situation they were unhappy in but moving on with open source contributions rather than just stop contributing. It's unfortunate that this took forking but I'd rather they fork than the project die.

Maybe they should have talked about it before doing it, but if your post is how that response would have went I don't blame them for not telling people outside their group.
