MODERATORS
If the recent drama with the former lead dev of GrapheneOS is any indication, putting our trust in a singular entity in charge of custom ROMs is also risky.
Last I heard the person in question stepped down. Made me consider to switch to Pixel with grapheneos
Fortunately the lead dev is not the entire project and his tantrum won't affect the stability of the project
Sure but the fact that anyone there could do it means fundamentally there is a risk present and that’s a bad position for a privacy centered organization. The others there MAY not do it, but they COULD.
Isn't that the case with any project, open source or proprietary? Plenty of previously-respectable manufacturers have decided to just dump in a load of bloat/ad/spyware one release, at least with an open project there are security audits and the like so you know if something's gone awry.
What drama
