      Seems more fair too... people paying for it if they want it, rather than what we have now: a few people donate a lot and most 0.

      IDK. I personally probably wouldn't fund *just* that. I'd want to see a plan for non-trivial improvements not already done.

      Wouldn't be able to commit to keeping around features though, only implementing them. The base it's built on keeps changing.

      Isn't that due partially to understaffing, which is what crowdfunding would help fix, presumably.

      A team of developers would allow implementing a broader, deeper range of features but maintenance becomes an even bigger issue.

      For example with security updates, we get the code on the day it's pushed and need to integrate and test it on that day.

      For major releases, there's a lot of time pressure too because Google stops releasing factory images for the old branches.

      Like you said before, purpose of crowdfunding is to finance the infrastructure to solve initial business problems like this.

      A lot of it is a technical / political problem for us though. Google dumps the code unpredictably and we simply have to cope.

      That doesn't sound sustainable. I would expect CopperheadOS to do stuff so as to not need patching for most 0-days.

      Then at that point, you'd not always be in panic mode. Only rarely.

          There's not much we can do to change the fact that we need regular security updates to firmware, etc.

          If we only had to worry about AOSP, then migration to new major releases wouldn't involve as much time pressure.

          Major releases do have a lot of security improvements though, so CopperheadOS needs to move fairly quickly to gain those.

          The baseline value == security parity with the latest Google Android, with many security features added on top of that baseline.
