AlphaElwedritsch Means, it can extremely delay GOS updates/upgrades if Google makes changes.
or the alpha and beta runs are getting longer
DeletedUser119 Does that mean all GOS updates will be delayed in the future?
That means the workload on our end increases moving forward. That goes for any new feature, but the more complicated ones have a bigger impact obviously. We are gradually welcoming more people to the team to stem this ever increasing workload (we're at 7 full-time developers at the time of this writing) but that comes with its own kind of logistical challenges too.
Remember you can help as well, switch to the alpha/beta release channels and report any bugs you encounter. You're generally not expected to do anything special either, just use your device as you normally would.
