It doesn't support the Nexus 6P anymore since that device doesn't meet the security standards and is also end-of-life without full security updates available. It has never supported it while being known as AndroidHardening or GrapheneOS, only during the previous incarnation.

The Librem 5 doesn't meet the basic security expectations of GrapheneOS including having full security updates. It will ship on day one with serious vulnerabilities and no way to fix them. Similarly, it doesn't meet a lot of other standard privacy/security expectations either.

It's a hard requirement for devices to meet certain basic security standards including having full security updates and meeting the other industry standards. GrapheneOS won't provide official upstream support for hardware targets significantly less secure than the status quo.

Replying to

GrapheneOS can certainly be ported to the device. However, it does not meet the requirements needed to provide a real GrapheneOS device. It will never receive official support. If a future generation meets the basic security standards, that could change, but it likely never will.

They aren't going to do that. The choices are deliberate. I've already talked to them in the past when they were trying to use my project as a way to promote it by announcing an empty partnership, as has been done in many other cases. I'm not excited about rolling back progress.

I don't know how it lines up with other things. I stopped following it early on when it became clear to me that they were going to keep spreading misinformation and making dishonest claims, along with taking an approach to the design that's inherently misleading / dishonest.

Link to the story from @Puri_sm. The fact that their engineer had to design that horrible nonsense workaround with a straight face and write the blog post to top it all off makes me sad. puri.sm/posts/librem5-

They spend their resources on making the device less secure, making dishonest / harmful marketing and developing a new mobile software stack offering drastically less privacy / security. It's presented as being about privacy and security but that couldn't be further from truth.
