Google just dropped support for the Nexus 5X and 6P, for unknown reasons. I hate it. Now I have no options left. (I need a device that will get android developer previews)

I'm so done with Google. This would be like Microsoft ending security updates for Windows 8.1 after only two years.

By the way you can get a custom rom from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/development

Yes, but I need to support apps.

Some of my users are on Pixel devices and will get Android 9.0 the day it is released, while in best case, the source code only drops a week later. So assuming it takes me 10 minutes to fix all bugs, my app might crash for a week.

Realistically, my apps would be at least a month unusable.
