Only the latest EA-series routers were affected by this "feature"
rollout. And I don't see those routers on the OpenWRT (or DDWRT)
lists.

So those of you with open firmware capable Linksys gear would have
been safe anyway, and those of you with the most recent 2-3 models,
well, you'll be able to roll back this change and hope for Marvell
chipset support, from what I'm reading.

Curse, or blessing, little of column A, little of column B either way
I guess. :)
