    Is “kill” a strong word here? They are heavily restricting it, and it’s reversible with some effort, know-how, and compromise, right?

    But killing it, I feel like they are not. Even though I strongly oppose what they are doing, don’t get me wrong!

      I mean, it’s the Android Open Source Project. Restricting it would be against the interests of the Free Software/Open Source movements and I believe that’s a violation on the principles of the project in my opinion.

        These changes don’t affect AOSP. Basically if the phone comes with the Google play store it is affected. AOSP doesn’t have Google play in it.
