      Sure, but it’s nicer that I would stop using my phone because it’s not worth repairing anymore rather than because it’s not supported.

      This doesn’t stop Google supporting the older Qualcomm phones. It just means they need to be responsible for the drivers, or contract Qualcomm to do it (which will cost Google extra).

          Fairphone doesn’t seem to care much about security (they use public keys for signing their OS afterall!), so they may be fine with those compromises.

          Any source for that claim? Digital signing works with key pairs - a private one for signing and a public one for verifying that something was signed by the corresponding private key. So I take it you’re saying they publish the private keys used for signing somewhere?
