From what I've gathered so far, LEDE is where the vast majority of activity and development moved after OpenWRT alienated most of the participants with friction in their workflow. OpenWRT had just a shell of 3 project members left, but continued to have substantial name recognition.

This is correct. LEDE is where all the devs and action went. OpenWRT is now just two or three people who were holding the old project hostage and may agree for LEDE to take over the name.

If there is a re-merge, it's going to be the LEDE base that is used. There are a half-dozen or more new devices supported in LEDE, an no new devices in OpenWRT from after the split (that I am aware of anyway).

Sounds reminiscent of the nodejs/iojs split and re-merge.
