@sycophantic @charlesp @GrapheneOS I think maybe we're misinterpreting what happened there.
Seems like they got heads up AOSP is going away some time ago and this is what they're referring too. Perhaps Google has backpedalled from that decision in the meantime and now only downscales the opensourcing. Still, If they made step 1, I would guess it's only time until they make step 2 and 3, even if it takes few years.
