What do you mean by in-progress support? Recent routers that are
supported generally get the latest builds too...

I used to have a 841ND running OpenWRT until I bricked it with a
botched upgrade and though it has recovery options as documented in
the wiki I never had the time so I bought a 1043ND, with which I was
pretty happy with stock so so far I have only made sure it's stock is
up to date and not yet upgraded to openwrt.

The 740N also supports OpenWRT and seemingly has some pretty cool
features (for it's really low price) if your are willing to solder,
but due to low memory you may not be able to have a Web interface with
OpenWRT (at least not on initial flash, you can install it
afterwards).

Those are the models I have touched (and are widely available here in
Israel), have a look here:
