OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!
Update: It is now unofficially possible using NTGR images to update legacy hardware to os6.X See Post #3, for directions to install 6.2.1 on x86 Ultra and Pro Models. (ARM NOT SUPPORTED by this OS) ...
mdgm and I have decided that its time to lock this thread. So please do post any new OS6 on Legacy issues on their own threads.
An open OS6 is an interesting idea, but I think it would require a fair bit of effort on Netgear's part to support it [likely both technical and licensing effort]. The OS will hopefully continue to evolve, so it would not be a one-time thing for them either.

So I think your scenario is more plausible than 'homebrew os6'. It might require some limited help from Netgear on the 'jailbreak' - for instance, bootup and some device drivers. But it wouldn't require a lot of effort for them, and nothing on-going. Possibly it could even be done without their help.
