From my brief reading it sounds like they have a solution and there's no danger of it stopping working.

In any case - don't editorialize in your titles.

You might call this a solution, but I disagree:

https://github.com/termux/termux-app/issues/1072#issuecommen...

"As i said on another issue, you should really start communicating this to users now , via as many channels as you can. I understand why you are doing what you do, but it is a big change and will annoy and/or confuse users however will you implement it. so getting people prepared now (ie as soon as possible, and before they have to do anything) will avoid a lot of angst and be in your best interests."

The "solution" is to publish 100s of different play store apps with Linux packages or to disable the ability to run installed programs.
