I have no trust in Google being - at all - interested in developing AOSP. That shift could be seen already back then (almost a decade ago) and has just become worse since.
The hope for an open source community driven platform lies elsewhere. If it’s Ubuntu Touch, Sailfish or something completely different I don’t know - but to get there we need to stop the delusion that an AOSP fork will do. That way we’ll always be tied to whatever Google decides to do.













Since you were already FWB it’s fine. If you hadn’t been you would be signing up to be a gigolo.
Go for it - enjoy.
