Exclusive: Google will develop the Android OS fully in private, and here's why
Google has confirmed it will move development of the Android OS to behind closed doors. Here's why it's doing it.

Wonder how it will affect custom Rom developement like GrapheneOS.
We already had to wait until the stable tags to get the vast majority of the source code, so not much will change overall. It's a major step in the wrong direction but without a large direct impact on us. It only reinforces that we need to obtain partner access via an OEM we can work with to help improve their platform security while also being able to port our changes earlier.
I don't think it'll change. Google will still be releasing source snapshots for each release.
Isn't Graphene Lineage OS based?
Well, this is exactly the kind of question one asks if one wants to get lectured about multiple ways they're wrong by the graphene developers.
In other words, no. It isn't :)
Before long I'll be getting threats...
