Google continues to do everything they can to close android down and force everyone to use their os directly. Imo this is a direct attack on graphene OS and anyone based on aosp. Now for every release developers will have to manually merge basically an unusable mess of changes.

Edit: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/21231-google-will-develop-the-android-os-fully-in-private Might not change anything actually.

Seems like graphene is already merging based on tags vs individual commits. It's also not like google is letting anyone (graphene) merge commits into android.

Iirc the graphene developers have basically given up on up streaming some changes because google doesn't actually want many of the security fixes/ changes graphene devs make. Their faq still says they'll try to upstream stuff, I wonder if this will impact that. https://grapheneos.org/faq#upstream
