Wow this is a big list!
In case it was useful, I found a page with the download statistics for
the OpenWrt downloads server: https://downloads.openwrt.org/stats/

Super useful for testing, thanks!!!!!!!

That is very beautiful!!
The one that you installed on the official LibreMesh downloads server
(thanks for that!!) could be linked on the website!
https://repo.libremesh.org/selector/

Wow... In the tested devices tab you have a lot of stuff!!!
Anyone is welcome to add those in the "Supported only in the release
candidate" list on the website :D

YES!!!
Would be awesome.
