I agree with Toke on this, cerowrt with a single supported router was never
about mass adoption. I think everyone using it is in the self selected
group of people that knew enough about networking to find why their
internet connection was *breaking* for interactive use, then go out and buy
a router that cost 2x-3x what other similar specification consumer units
cost. As far as I recall, initial installation required TFTP. Not a real
hurdle for many of us, but quite a barrier to the normal consumer. I've
been using it for my primary router for over a year now, and have been very
happy with it's stability and reliability. I've had to roll back a few
builds, but no real issues otherwise. People that are here, are here to be
where all the new development of consumer level implementations of internet
protocols and things getting fixed is happening. My 2 cents.
