whoa, #Android #AOSP no longer to be developed in the open -- source code will be made available in large releases instead https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/03/google-makes-android-development-private-will-continue-open-source-releases/

so much for the android "open" source project; this puts it firmly in google's hands as google android (where previously their strategy was to make google-exclusive versions of the stock aosp apps like clock calendar calculator etc, they now just straight-up won't let you see what's going on in between ~yearly releases)
