I can't find information about this except in a Reddit thread. Is it documented somewhere?

If you are talking about the addition of microG, that indeed seems like it hasn't been mentioned on the blog, although I'd argue very likely due to an oversight.

I can find internal conversations that it deserves to be announced in a more prominent way than on the "Sunsetting LineageOS 18.1" post, was left as "to be added to the LineageOS 22.x" blog post, and then just never made the initial draft. Whoops.

If you are talking about the rules on the subreddit (or the other social platforms), that one indeed has been discussed a lot on the platform itself (and which we usually keep available).

  • While my currently favored approach is GOS', I'd really like to know more. Did anything else change? I'm 15 years out of date. In my mind:

    * root is still frowned upon

    * microG is frowned upon

    * bypassing SafetyNet (sorry, Play Integrity) is frowned upon

    * bootloader relocking is not oficially nor semi-officially supported

    * missing patches (Google's 6 month source embargo) were not talked about

    • >* bootloader relocking is not oficially nor semi-officially supported

      That sounds more like an OEM problem.
