Considering that LEDE folks recently posted a "what's blocking the release" 
message, this would be extremely unlikely.

I am very interested in seeing what OpenWRT is going to be doing next. I hope 
that it's more than just pulling patches from LEDE. That's a perfectly 
legitimate thing to do, but would be rather limiting in what value OpenWRT would 
be providing.

And if it is the viewpoint of OpenWRT that LEDE is an experimental testbed (the 
way that Fedora is seen as a testbed for RHEL), then people should not be told 
to go away if a lede question is posted on the OpenWRT forums (something I've 
seen a few times so far)
