Maybe read the article and not look like an idiot. All they did was move the certificates into a signed package that is updated through Google Play. They can revoke certs even faster now because it doesn't require a system update.
Cool, so I can’t revoke the certs myself? Still bad.
I can’t add my own for testing? Still bad.
They manage it via an app that I can’t change at all? Still bad.
What if you can't access gplay for various reasons? (Non-stock OS, geographic lockout, etc etc)
Are you just straight-up boned when 14 rolls around? Genuinely curious
I hope that on LineageOS that you will still be able to manage your own certificates
