EdgeOS is a Vyatta fork. Has Ubnt abandoned EdgeOS? It's been a few months since I've looked, but the version of Debian that's being used was end-of-lifed on MIPSLE hardware a while back so security updates are entirely incumbent upon Ubnt. There is no upstream support.

Which offerings are on OpenWRT?

The next version of EdgeOS , 2.0 that is currently in alpha, was rebased to Strech so this should be fixed soon enough.

Their Unifi APs have option of a LEDE based firmware option, but think it is just beta at the moment. You can choose between the LEDE version and the regular version.

On the one hand it's good they're updating to a supported version of Debian. On the other, how is it still in alpha? Wheezy was EOL'd on all architectures in May.

All of their wireless gear is OpenWRT based, EdgeOS is only used on the switching hardware. Their wireless gear has been mmuch more popular and has significantly more variety than the switches/routers Ubiquiti offers.
