It should make it somewhat easier for individuals as well

The idea is that you have the vendor image with Qualcomm or Samsung specific drivers, and you can build AOSP for everything else

The structs in the kernel have some extra GKI space so if they change, it can still support the older drivers

The downside is Google is planning on pushing the updates through the Play Store, so it will take some effort to make it work in AOSP for Lineage/Graphene, etc

Well it sounds like it's a step in the right direction at least. Thanks for the info.
