Boring Router is a fork of the OpenWrt Project. It was created due to a bottleneck at reviewing contributions at the OpenWrt Project. That is, using Boring Router, you can use features that are not yet or will never be available at OpenWrt. Still, we try to introduce new features in OpenWrt too.
This should not be compared with the LEDE Project. Those that started it are now at the OpenWrt project and part of the review bottleneck.
