    I think there should be a handoff procedure, or whatever you want to call it.

    As EOL approaches, work with whatever open router OS maker is available (currently OpenWRT) to make sure it’s supported, and configs migrate over nicely. Then drop one last update, designed to do a full OS replacement.

    Boom, handoff complete.

      I’d support a regulation that defines either an expiration date or commitment to open source at the time the hardware is sold.
