@richb-hanover-priv and @fantom-x and @drbrains following on here from the conversation around Maintaining an OpenWrt Router
Instead of asking questions and "auto-configuring" could we maybe have more "discovery" in LuCI? ie. we could ask very informal questions, like "Do you want a separate wifi network for guests and friends?" and "Do you want to share files with other computers from the router?" and blablabla, and then make a list of recommended packages with some descriptions of them and links to howtos?
I think this would not require that much development work as it doesn't try to do all that much except ask questions and identify packages to educate the user about their existence or usefulness or function.
Also, I think SQM should be pre-installed on all images, it's basically an essential feature of a router in my biased opinion, and it's not that big, 20-25kB?
