While I have not used GrapheneOS myself, comments like yours have me 
regarding it as a very interesting and worthy project.


I recalled your email when I saw this recent video (and the YouTube 
comments... yikes) about GrapheneOS by Louis Rossmann:

I am now convinced that the main limitation of GrapheneOS is the founder 
and lead developer.

I kinda feel bad for the guy, but I can't say I'd trust him - especially 
after reading some of the comments. (Yes, YouTube comments are usually a 
sewer, but not always.)


Thought I'd spread some exposure of this issue so people can take it 
into consideration when choosing a mobile OS.
