Sounds like google is going hostile to the project, so if enough of us miss it i guess we will have to work on new hardware support

GrapheneOS community manager here. Google did make it harder to support Pixels, but we're still doing it and plan to continue supporting new Pixels provided they keep meeting our requirements.

At the same time, we're in communication with an OEM to have some of their devices have official GrapheneOS support, so we're moving towards redundancy.
