Why i believe a hard ban is shortsighted is that it prevents real features like mine from being upstreamed.

I agree its inconvenient that they are on my own repo, but either i rewrite it fully manually which i might do someday but i really don't have the time for now or pmos changes their rules.

Willing? absolutely, but as i will say in my post, understanding a single subsystem of the kernel at a deep level is going to take a very long time, and i am working across all of them, one thing i understand on a deep architectural level is graphics programming, it has taken around i believe 5 years of making my own engine to truly understand it an expert level and even them im sure there is plenty of vulkan stuff i still don't know.

Truly understanding the kernel at a expert level will take an equal amount of time.

I have taken the decision that having an fully working capable linux phone with AI now is better then one done manually over 5 years.
