But it's based off of OpenWrt, so still lots of classic Linux userspace. 
What it's trying to do is create common APIs that the binary blobs can be 
used with, so less intrusive modifications of the kernel are needed to 
hook in packet accelerators and other things not typically handled by the 
Linux kernel (which is a major driver for the lack of up-to-date kernels 
in HGWs and other IoT devices).
