If openwrt had an updating feature and I was running it, do you want it to brick my device when they decide they can no longer support my router? That is exactly what happened when I tried out openwrt a few years ago. Nobody thought it was wise to say that I would need more than the 4M of flash that is in my original "the linux router". I had to use tftp to put ddwrt back on it. That requires a wired connection. Thank god I have plenty of those. People today with their wireless everything would be SOL.
