That was actually really fast considering how long wireguard has(n't) been around. We don't even have it in stable Linux distributions yet. I guess there is some significant demand for it from Mikrotik's customers. I'll probably use it.

There are lots of stable Linux distros running the stable kernel which is 5.8. it is just distros like RHEL that call themselves stable, but are actually antiquated and honestly just give users a bad experience because most of the software is outdated. Wouldn't expect anything less from IBM.

And it's somewhat silly to freeze the kernel. The Linux kernel is meticulous about backwards compatibility. Spin up any distribution user space in docker, and watch it work.

OpenWRT has support for WireGuard as well.

Not ubiquiti's doing but this repo has pre-built kernel modules of wireguard and vyatta integration for I think most of the edgerouter series: https://github.com/WireGuard/wireguard-vyatta-ubnt I haven't updated/tested in awhile but last I remember I was seeing 800+ mbit/s on my dinky mips ER-X. Pretty amazing and easy to use.
