If you look at the pace and scope of commits on the LEDE codebase, it's dramatically increased from OpenWRT. It's far more than "a few bug fixes", they've substantially rewritten the codebase and updated its dependencies. Meanwhile the OpenWRT codebase has been stagnant (since most developers went to LEDE where their commits could actually make it in). The merge replaces the OpenWRT organization infra with LEDE's, allowing LEDE's pace of innovation to continue. That's the main gain.
