They forked from old Vyatta long ago, and have been making good progress.
There were things that we had to do internally: replace CLI processor,
switch routing protocol backend, and stop using kernel for dataplane.
VyOs gradually has done all of those.  Last I saw they were switching
over to FD.io/VPP for dataplane. VPP is an all userspace dataplane that
borrows from DPDK.
