Seeing this headline I'm not actually sure my OpenWRT router/WiFi AP has been upgraded since I installed it in late 2015. I haven't really thought about it at all, actually. I think that counts as praise? EDIT: ... turns out I was on a 2019 version. I just upgraded it from the web interface, completely painless experience. 10/10!

FYI, Attended Sysupgrade is pain free: no need to reinstall packages after flashing a new version.

  There was a breaking change to the switch config several versions ago: "There is no migration path for targets that switched from swconfig to DSA. In that case, sysupgrade will refuse to proceed with an appropriate error message" https://forum.openwrt.org/t/openwrt-21-02-0-first-stable-release/105395 https://forum.openwrt.org/t/openwrt-21-02-0-first-stable-rel...

    Thanks, I'd completely forgotten about that. I'd still highly recommend Attended Sysupgrade... going forward.

      I'd thought it was just sysupgrade, but it looks like it's more: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/installation/attended.sysupgrade https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/installation/attended.sy... Interesting.
