> security nightmare That is not a corporations problem who's given away the rights to his product. That is my problem as an informed user, deciding that I know well enough about what I'm doing. Security can't be the constant reason for EoLs. Especially when there's no real reason beyond the company needing the next cash cow. > Will your technically-challenged great-Aunt switch to post-support build when her phone hits EoL This isn't for the average user. My grandma isn't gonna learn how to flash a custom firmware on her old phone. But an informed user can. Right now, if your device has no more support, you can use it until something else changes and it becomes incompatible. Then you have a dead box that doesn't do anything anymore, and simply because the company decided to no longer support it. It's about having the OPTION to use it in the future so the community can at least try to fix it.
