The source code's just as transparent, and the fundamental concepts and implementations aren't going to vanish at all. If we get a future CarbonOS, so be it, but I doubt that will be in any near future scenario.
Why is it transparent? Cause its open source. Yes there has never been anything a bug or backdoor in open source code before ever.
Bing transparent is not the same thing as being secure. The difference is that closed source code can be audited by no one except its' developers, and open source code can be audited by anyone.
