My question whenever one of these de-googled google projects comes up is how do they keep up with the security patches released in stock? This is an especially big problem with all the "de-googled" chromium forks, that remove autocomplete from the address bar at the expense of running 3 versions behind stable. The only fork i've seen so far that even came close to keeping up with the average android install was Copperhead OS, and they seem fairly proud of that - it's right at the top of their features overview [1].

Seeing no mention of how up-to-date this OS is is worrying - I have a hard time seeing it as an improvement to reduce the number of calls to google services, while running an OS that's missing the last couple months of security updates.
