How feasible is this? Very, I hope.
Not sure. Forking AOSP itself wouldnt really be the problem. The bigger issue would be security patches and that over time the code bases would severely diverge.
It's very feasible, but some of us will probably run old GrapheneOS Pixels or dumb flip phones for several years while the work gets done.
