Competition with OpenWRT

Hello all,
I've been using OpenWRT for the past few years, and I am again exploring
the BSD world to see how it matches up in terms of providing a similar
system. This would be something that is small in terms of ram and flash
requirements, while still providing good performance and a wide variety of
applications and device support.
I can see some good things when I look back at the archive, but what I
haven't seen is any attention to consumer-level Wifi APs. Perhaps I just
haven't dug deep enough.
My idea is to expand beyond MIPS support for some development boards and
into support for some of the chipsets which are going to today's routers,
such as the Atheros AR531x System-on-Chip, and from there, build files for
specific routers, such as FON's La Fonera.
Is this a project that others here are interested in?
