 L'hanno annunciato qui al battlemesh oggi pomeriggio verso le 4.

 In questa iniziativa ci sono i membri più attivi (e più forti a mio 
 avviso) di OpenWRT,
 se hanno deciso di fare questo passo evidentemente hanno un ottimo 
 motivo per farlo.

 Uno di questi motivi è che non si riusciva a migliorare la gestione del 
 progetto e della community OpenWRT per problemi interni di alcuni membri 
 che si oppongono ad alcuni cambiamenti.
