Security patches aren't being delayed for AOSP specifically but rather Android as а whole including the stock Pixel The title is misinterpreting our reply. We didn't say they're delaying patches to AOSP specifically. Stock Pixel
has delayed patches too.
A more detailed explanation is at
GrapheneOS has an OEM partner and early access to the security patches so our complaint isn't about not having access. Google has added an exception to the embargo where binary-only patches can be released which we
could use for a special security update branch but that’s a ridiculous exception and it should be allowed to release the sources. It can be reversed from the security patches anyway апа is trivial for Java and Kotlin. We can't break
the embargo ourselves but we CAN publish the security patches early under the rules of the embargo via a special branch and people could reverse the patches from there which could then be applied to the regular GrapheneOS
branch. The system is ridiculous and our hope is these changes are undone.
