Isn't Tomato way out of date? Wikipedia shows the last stable release was almost 5 years ago, and the website shows no dates on its releases (not a good sign). I ran Tomato for a long time and loved it, but I just got too nervous running such old software as the gateway to my network. Ended up upgrading to a cheap TP-Link router, switching to the latest and greatest OpenWRT release, and haven't had any complaints at all.

There are forks of Tomato that have been updated much more recently. I'm running the "Toastman" build of Tomato.
Ah, I wonder why doesn't the original project just fold up and point people at the currently maintained version. I'd still be very nervous about trusting my network to a random fork of mostly unmaintained software. At least with OpenWRT there's a very clear view into the (quite active) development, roadmaps to next releases, etc: https://dev.openwrt.org/roadmap
