Thanks for your feedback Ilario :-)
I think some new branch would be great, as the problem exist in a future openwrt release
(not the actual 19.xx).
So it should only be corrected for the next release I think.
I think that the policy should be that we always add support to openwrt/master (snapshots)
in a backward compatible way when possible. If it is not possible then we ask ourselves
what to do depending on the case, I mean, how much it will brake in each case.
After the 20.09 release I think we can drop OpenWrt 18.x support and focus on 19.x and
snapshot but prioritizing 19.x over openwrt/master (the rationale is to deliver the a
stable experience).
Andy, what device do you need that it is only in master? Some can be easily backported to
19.x in a local fork of openwrt. I know this have its pros/cons but relying in snapshots
is also very unstable and time consuming.
Best!
