"Hey Google, what is Android?"
* "Android is... quarterly source-code over the wall called AOSP"
* "Android is... not GMS or Play Integrity"
* "Android is... not the device trees or driver binaries of Pixel phones"
* "Android is... not part of the monthly security reports"
And today, we discover, "Android is... not `system-images;android-36;default`" per https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/432143095
The F in #FDroid stands for "freedom", but there's no "F" in Android... nor any promises.
