Some turbulence at CalyxOS

CalyxOS is an Android distribution thatclaims a focus on privacy and security. So when anannouncement from the project begins by saying "we want to assureyou that we have no reason to believe the security of CalyxOS and itssigning keys have been compromised", chances are that good things arenot happening.

In this case, it would appear that Nicholas Merrill, one of the founders ofthe project, has left for unclear reasons, and CalyxOS is responding bypausing all releases - and security updates - while its release process,signing keys, and security protocols are reworked. The result will be noupdates for "four to six months". The project is recommending thatits users "should uninstall the OS" and wait for an all-clearsignal. CalyxOS may have its work cut out for it when the time comes totry to convince those users to come back.
