I think this is not a strong possibility because a LOT of packages
will depend on sed and awk.

RAM or FLASH?

I think it's more important to support better >4MB by default than the
rare devices with less, that even if you want to use, they will
probably be very basic, and you can always use USB ext root. That is,
adding features to busybox that would make it more like a regular
linux distribution...I think about $RANDOM and find(1) options that
break quite a lot of scripts.

Isn't it the biggest advantage of Openwrt? Tracking the kernel
bleeding edge and such?
