Saying Micay has stepped down is big assertion, since they could be pretty much anyone coding for the project (I mean, having an alias). It's a matter of trust and if I cannot trust them to do what they say, I still trust the community behind the project.

That's why I ended up flashing GrapheneOS. I did try CalyxOS, but couldn't find any real value compared to LineageOS (besides, maybe, network authorization) when it comes to apps installation and behavior. I'm happy with the settings of GrapheneOS, and I'll see how the situation evolves to decide if I keep it or not :). I have no doubt that if Micay stays around, we will hear bout them in no time.

They have created a foundation and any changes would require 3/4 vote. Do know there is public github with public commits of all changes, so please don't imply any mistrust to Daniel Micay, Daniel has been put through a lot these last several years. Let's try to be understanding and kind please. I am happy you like GrapheneOS :)
