Not only this, but LibreOffice and OpenOffice are both, well, clearly office application suites from the name. LEDE stands for "Linux Embedded Development Environment", which to me, doesn't really even imply "Linux distribution". A development environment could be an IDE and some various tools-- I'm not sure "development environment" is a great way to characterize this project. There's also the problem that if you search for LEDE, at the very least Google wanted to know if I'd misspelled "lead", or if I was referring to the journalistic definition of "lede"-- it's kind of a generic name. While personally I like the idea of keeping the name OpenWRT, the argument for potentially rebranding does make some sense-- but it might be a good idea to consider other potential names too, that might be a bit less generic? Although this might be rehashing a discussion that already happened a number of months ago. Ben Rosser
