We already had to wait until the stable tags to get the vast majority of the source code, so not much will change overall. It’s a major step in the wrong direction but without a large direct impact on us. It only reinforces that we need to obtain partner access via an OEM we can work with to help improve their platform security while also being able to port our changes earlier.
Wonder how it will affect custom Rom developement like GrapheneOS.
From GrapheneOS:
I don’t think it’ll change. Google will still be releasing source snapshots for each release.
Isn’t Graphene Lineage OS based?
