I suspect that many developers publishing on F-Droid, and the F-Droid itself, may obtain registration, and continue to be available, termux and all.

But not every developer, of course, would agree to register.

There are so many apps which just work and don't need updates.

All of those will disappear also on F-Droid because of that.
