I can surely see that it would be a pain to have to do that all again for the current series.

It's worse than that. Having put in the investment in time and effort, Simon could easily find that Netgear introduce new, incompatible models without notice; it has happened before. With the range of platforms Simon already supports, investment in the Netgear range clearly does not make sense for him.

As far as I’m aware, ReadyNAS has changed the Operating System for their NAS-es from “ Radiator” to “OS 6”, giving them a new platform to build upon. This is a fairly common thing to do for developers when they real8se that a platform gas reached the end of it’s lifecycle. All brands do this and Synology and QNAP will no doubt do the same at some point in time.

My point us that ReadyNAS’es OS 6 platform will be in use for the next 6 tru 1 years of so, making it worthwhile - in my line of thinking - to create a installation package for it.

In the end, it’s up to Simon to decide on this, of course.
