I know, but from an environmental perspective it would be nice to be confident that I could get a reasonable 4-year-life out of a new flagship phone, rather than going through rare earths and energy to make disposable 2-year phones.

It would. On the plus side Google has invested a ton of effort this year into making this possible.

Project treble is a major platform change.

OEMs need to get onboard though.

I would love to see Google ship the Pixel 2 with a ten years support warranty.. that would show the way but I will believe it when it happens
