ReadyCLOUD is dead -- the onslaught begins

Trashing still-working devices is a bit extreme, but being prepared to replace them with another brand if they fail by learning more about them is definitely what I'm doing.  I recently upgraded my WiFi system, and Netgear was off the table before I even started looking.  All my ReadyNAS except my remote backup unit are rack-mount that can be converted to a standard Linux system, and I will likely go that way at some point.  I'm mostly waiting and hoping that a team will form to create a ReadyNAS OS replacement based on something like OpenMediaVault.  But, unfortunately, most of the more advanced users capable of doing that who were once on this forum have already abandoned the platform, so I'm losing hope.

In his parting words at rnxtras, WhoCares_ mentions doing something like that, and I think he'd be great to lead the effort.  But I've seen nothing since.  One or more of the original Infrant "Jedi" coming in to save the day would also be very welcome.  If something like that does form, I'll offer my services of having a bunch of different ReadyNAS models for testing (unless I sell a lot of them before hand) and a lot of experience doing testing.

It would be great if Netgear would release the source code of ReadyNAS OS, though continuing it in lieu of something at least mostly more standard would take more effort in development as well as support.  I personally would love them to release the ReadyNAS schematics to give folks some possibility of repair for very simply issues.  If I had those, I would likely have been able to do more to help some folks who have experienced things like internal power conversion issues.
