They have one. It's called LineageOS.

Blah. Sounds like another Linux distro.

I think the boring name is a good sign - Operating systems should be boring. Flashy marketing leads to the sort of drama that killed cyanogen.

The word lineage is boring? It seems to be haughty, lofty, arrogant, and so on.

Where does lineage mean that? I've never seen that definition.

"Lineage" can have a connotation of people talking about the great things their ancestors have done and attempting to somewhat attach themselves to those deeds, as well as an opportunity to look down on people of "lesser breeding".

Obviously it has positive connotations as well, but the negative ones are definitely there.

Yeah, I guess I would have failed that Rorschach test.

when someone refers to their parentage/ancestors as their "lineage" it almost always means they are royal/upper class/landed gentry, etc...

Besides the other comments, I never said that it meant that. I was describing the word, not giving the definition.
