That sounds awesome. Does this full commitment mean Intel will be contributing resources, or donating to compensate for the added maintenance burden?

Asking for a friend.

Cheers

>5.           We want to keep some C3000 features on the subtarget. Some X86 openwrt is  Soft-routing. We don't want our changes to affect these Soft-routing.
