[..] In case the router will have just 100Mbit interfaces, then it doesn't make any sense to make such a router (nobody would be interested in it as it wouldn't add any value to the current routers as these are quite often very capable, with firmware being open-source and targetting the same price segment as the EOMA68 router).
This depends on your use case. I am part of a wireless community in northern Germany. The vast majority of our routers are Ubiquiti NS M5 or TP-Link CPE510 devices (outdoor wireless devices) with one or two 100 MBit/s ethernet ports. This was never a concern for our users, since the VPN that most of our members use, requires loads of CPU power. Thus more than 10 MBit/s are rarely seen. We were always looking for devices with a faster CPU, but these do not seem to exist within the price range of approximately 100 Euros.
This is probably a quite a specific use case. Indoor users may well have a real need for gigabit router ports - I cannot tell.
Cheers, Lars
