I've always thought about CeroWRT as an R&D project. As Dave points out
I don't think it's realistic to provide a "stable" release in the sense
of having it upgraded and maintained. At least not as things stand now.
However, designating a release as "stable" in the same way as the
previous one (i.e. something that won't crash and where most or all of
the advertised features (mostly) work) would probably be a good idea.
In particular, crash bugs and things that are completely broken should
probably be fixed?


As far as my installation goes:

I've had to re-initialise the wifi a couple of times for no apparent
reason, and one or two reboots necessary, but nothing that major...
