[Question] Will Pixel 8/9/10 be supported for long term? A question on the future of GrapheneOS. (discuss.tchncs.de)

I read about Google's decision of not releasing the firmware source code going forward. Is it still the case? If it is, should one purchase any Pixel 8/9/10 series in hope of keeping it for a long time?

I am planning to purchase a new Pixel 9 (used ones are not an option unfortunately) during the Black Friday or something. It will be a substantial amount but I am hoping it will be justified with amortisation.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I cannot find a clear cut answer in the forums.

I can't find their post (I imagine it's somewhere on their mastodon) but I think they said that the released source code was basically a 'nice to have' and shouldn't affect their future support.

Their FAQ still implies everything's OK, hopefully it stays that way.
