alt Hacker NewsGiven that Google has said they'll be delaying source code release for Android to every X months intervals (iirc), how is GrapheneOS planning to handle security updates? Will they just be Google's binary blobs?

Isn't that about feature releases? My understanding was that security patches are separate from this
edit: looked up the announcement https://www.androidauthority.com/google-android-development-... but it doesn't even mention the word security. I don't know enough about the manufacturer side of things to say whether this means there's also no security updates while they work on new features

Motorola is a partner that has access to Android source sooner.
Graphene already uses binary blobs (though one can disable them if they want). Info at [0].
