Do you happen to know, if the RB2011 will be stuck on the (dead-end) ar71xx release, or whether somebody is working on porting it to the newer ath79 platform with LTS?

It doesn't seem like porting new devices to ath79 is very involved [1]. I would highly encourage you to make a project out of porting RB2011.

This is the first I've heard of this. I didn't know it could map to a new platform.

I have two and just got them working and haven't updated in maybe a year. I use them as internal switches and only really use vlans + dhcp.

It might be interesting to see if porting is a big deal. I have one annoying weirdness where ports are labeled sfp,1-5,6-10, but the logical mapping is really screwed up switch0:6, switch0:1,2,3,4,5, then switch1:5,4,3,2,1 (reversed)
