> the FSF is at least 15 years late to really launch something in that space

Not really. https://replicant.us is an FSF-supported project. But it kind of died due to the lack of contributors.

IMHO, postmarketOS is better than Replicant or any other Android Rom, because it doesn't depend on Android.



Yes we should have seen (me included) that going the free android distribution path was a long term trap.

This is where the Stallman hard, radical and long term vision make a lot of sense in retrospect. Because we see now Google is pulling the rug.


the smart strategy is to put effort into projects that have a fork failsafe option

and concentrate effort on the components that don't have this (ie. drivers, hardware, codecs, whatever), but instead what we got is 20 more years GnomeJS and whatnot.
