We'll always have the versions of AOSP Google has released, but they're not forced to do so in the future. And I'm not sure anyone else is interested in maintaining it.

Google only releases AOSP for Pixel devices, for most devices you need to rely on (and trust) some dude on a forum and it might not have 100% compatibility.

Isn't Fuchsia google's attempt to move phone off open systems, and onto all-google-no-license code? If it becomes a big thing, then only increasingly obsolete open-systems for us :(

Fuchsia is about as open as Android is today.

Thanks - there was talk when Fuschia first became visible that it was to be locked down. The project site does not agree with that.

Whether it is “locked down” depends on your opinion of what Android is currently, I guess.
