Some turbulence at CalyxOS
is an Android distribution that
claims a focus on privacy and security. So when an
announcement from the project begins by saying "we want to assure
you that we have no reason to believe the security of CalyxOS and its
signing keys have been compromised", chances are that good things are
not happening.
In this case, it would appear that Nicholas Merrill, one of the founders of
the project, has left for unclear reasons, and CalyxOS is responding by
pausing all releases — and security updates — while its release process,
signing keys, and security protocols are reworked. The result will be no
updates for "four to six months". The project is recommending that
its users "should uninstall the OS" and wait for an all-clear
signal. CalyxOS may have its work cut out for it when the time comes to
try to convince those users to come back.
