Re the use of "ROM", it seems like I used a bad colloquialism rather than a technical term but you make a good point that " aftermarket OS" is a clearer term. Thanks for the suggestion there, I'll do that moving forward.

Re: your response to point 3, I appreciate that engaging with trolls and other harassment is not fun for the person being targeted, so my comment here is not actually targeted at you specifically, but anyone in Graphene willing to help here. Here is what I mean specifically:

Your provided examples are definitely better than the chatlog situation but there is still something that I would like to see different if possible. In each of your examples in your text block, you potentially provide with something I would call documentation, but the format is transient. There is no direct quote and no link.

More explicitly, there is a verbal reference to posts by @maxtannahill (I quickly browsed his twitter but just saw crypto nonsense), but missing are a direct quote with link to the tweets he made. The direct quote means he cannot delete the tweet and delete the wrongdoing, and the link provides a way for third parties to verify claims.

For example, this might look like e.g. "strcat did so and so"[1]. Then in the references section - [1] - quote pulled from https://URLofSpecificTweetInQuestion. Again, it wouldn't be something I'd ask you to do because if it is targeting you in particular, that would be somewhat confronting.

The same issue exists for the harassment you mentioned in this thread. There is a deleted comment by joemazerino, whom I assume is the harasser you are mentioning, and his replies are vague as fuck and slightly hostile (which is suspicious) but his post is deleted so its hard to come into it "fresh". A preemptive direct quote and link in situations like this is ideal.

Re: 5 I think I may have made an error that I need to correct. Based on the sandbox model, does that mean that, other than install and updates, the sandboxed playstore apps are just as private as the Aurora offering? And is there any plans to provide anonymisation for installs and updates moving forward?
