    FYI: they don't accept AI contributions.

    From experience, AI is a 10x (or more) booster for getting a new device up and running - or porting mainline Linux to those super old (3.x) kernel forks.

    I'll not contribute back anymore - this is a real bummer, but I guess they made their choice.

      I&#x27;ve seen a few people react this way, promising to never contribute when AI is banned; invariably, it turns out they hadn&#x27;t been contributing upstream anyways.

          So… a handful of patches for a single phone from like a couple years ago?

          The contributions won’t be missed.

            Can I see your contributions to the project?

        People are more inclined to contribute when it&#x27;s easy than when it&#x27;s hard. What of it?

          Contributing may be easier, but stopping the project becoming a harder-to-debug mess is more of a priority.
