For more precision:

Waze is fairly easy to run without play services. GMaps I haven't yet found a way to run, but also haven't looked in quite some time.

Google Maps used to work without it but recently gained a hard dependency on Play services. We could add more shims to make more apps work without it installed but that hasn't been a focus yet.

Makes sense. Any idea if there's any interest in a shim to get notifications working sans Play services?

I haven't looked at anything shim related in quite a while and am not super familiar with the notification stack for Android, so if that's a stupid question I apologize.

Neat, every day I inch closer to not needing Play Services anymore.
