    If it’s just a fork of Android, doesn’t that mean 194 days from now they either need to branch off entirely and write their own code from here on out…

    Or…

    Never advance the base code?

      No. As long as the base remains opensource (AOSP), they can remove the bad parts. Graphene has made numerous contributions to AOSP, I’m confident they can manage that. And if the user base growths, I hope their fundings will follow.

      It would be a good thing for the world if AOSP was forked with big resources behind an open project with an open governance. But that needs lot of resources.
