Looks like Google is providing an extra two years of OS upgrades for Pixel 6 series, 7 series and Fold:

Will this mean that GrapheneOS will support these devices for longer now too?

Well their overall support time hasn't changed but yes, they'll get the upcoming Android updates on GrapheneOS too.

Previously Google had planned to support the firmware for five years and to provide three years of OS upgrades. My understanding of the GrapheneOS plan was to issue firmware upgrades and OS upgrades for five years.

If Google now plans to support the firmware for five years and to provide five years of OS upgrades, I suspect the GrapheneOS plan will remain planning to issue firmware upgrades and OS updates for five years.

So I believe this will be a win for people running the stock OS and neutral for GrapheneOS users.

I wonder why the Pixel Tablet isn't included in this.
