   I'm glad you finally admit that Android does get full support "forever" and   
   than project mainline is only sticking plaster. Android is full support is   
   finite.

   More relevant example is:   
      
   iPhone 11 series   
   Release date: 19 September 2019   
   Guaranteed full support: at least until September 2026   
   Duration: 7 years or more

   Why do you keep demonstrating the opposite, then?

   Further evidence that your previous claim that all Android from 10 onwards   
   is fully supported "forever" was simply a lie. If the above are   
   "exceptional" then it's clear support is limited. Thus anyone stuck on any   
   unsupported Android (i.e. 12 and older) are up a creek.
