Well, actually these routers have existed and evolved for longer than the Raspberry Pi.
Of course they could vanish but as we are (hopefully) no longer using proprietary
protocols
in the routing layer, they can always be replaced by something else.
Actually whn you run your applications on the same system where you do the routing, there
is an extra issue that many admins do not understand: source address selection.
At least with two different systems for applications and routings you don't have that
issue.

I know its more expensive than a PI but:-
1. Router models seem to come and go like the sun in a UK summer. Whilst PIs evolve I
can't see them vanishing.
2. Its possible to make the PI pretty much plug-and-play. I have a Pi running PI-Star and
can connect to DMR and YSF. Wouldn't it be great if it could do so over 44net.
