I wouldn't call it a "critical mistake." Manufacturers have been
known to change core hardware with little to no fanfare -- often
crippling open-source distros. Couple that with a general inability to
determine what hardware rev the device you're going to receive is, and
finding a compatible router becomes difficult quickly. However, when
the vendor and manufacturer both tout support for open-source
distributions as a listed feature, you have some recourse if the product
doesn't live up to the hype.
And yeah, I've had trouble finding models off an HCL -- oftentimes
they get discontinued.
