"The changes will affect all certified Android devices once live". AKA GrapheneOS should remain unaffected (as it is not "certified", per Google parlance), and F-Droid should remain available - in theory.
If they keep up this "boil the frog slowly" crap though, I may be migrating off of Android and over to a strictly Linux-based phone, like a PinePhone, Librem, etc.
Fuck the scumbags at the top of big tech making decisions like these.
AOSP is being killed piece by piece - zero community engagements, infrequent dumps with no commit logs, moving everything into Google Play services and recently no more binaries for Pixel phones just to make third party ROM developers lives a little more miserable.

Next step: require all "certified" devices to prevent unlocking the bootloader... then possibly kill AOSP...
I have no words.. or more precisely, those words are not the kind of words I'm allowed to write here.
