Note: Sorry Jason Self, the reply isn't meant directly to you, but to other 
people. Since many have replied in ways which are of interest to the issue I 
raise here, I decided to reply in general instead of wasting time replying 
individually.

I hope that the non-free software announced in this thread (such as LineageOS 
and stock Android) get replaced eventually by those who just fostered these.

The issue of proprietary obsolescence is the same both for manufacturer or 
carrier-specific system distributions and also for the non-free ones announced 
here by other commenters.

Since this mailing list has focus on general discussions, fostering 
installation or usage of non-free software might not be a good idea.
