    I’m downstream of that (LineageOS, GrapheneOS) so that absolutely affects me. Worse, I expect this is the first step towards making Android entirely closed source.

    This means I need a Linux tablet/phone next.

    FYI Android is not about to become closed source. Google has their own internal dev branch and the publicly available main AOSP branch, this is already known. What they’re doing is simplifying their release process so that rather than having two “main” branches AOSP will be downstream from their dev branch.
