FYI the poster this story links to says that this title is incorrect: https://x.com/grapheneos/status/1964757878910136346?s=46 They say this: Our reply here was linked on Hacker News with an inaccurate title ("Delayed Security Patches for AOSP"). Security patch backports were pushed to AOSP on September 2nd for Android 13, 14 and 15 as expected. More information is available at x.com/GrapheneOS/sta… explaining the situation with security patches. It would be better to have a thread linking to that instead. We have early access to the security patches, but we can't break the embargo. We can only release the sources once source release is allowed. We could make a security preview branch but the system simply doesn't make sense. Android 16 QPR1 is a new major release, not a security patch release. Our reply is talking about 2 different issues. Android 16 QPR1 is what was delayed for AOSP and we don't currently know why. It's possible it was a mistake and it will be pushed on Monday. | ||

Thanks for the clarification. 90 day embargo of patches for all Android is worse than delaying for AOSP, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45158523#45161240 | ||
