If Google wins this fight, I think we’re either going to have to fork AOSP and make graphene and lineage operating systems in their own right with no connection to the previous Android, or go with Linux mobile, or if nothing else happens, go back to the desktop and declare mobile a failure.
Not sure. Forking AOSP itself wouldnt really be the problem. The bigger issue would be security patches and that over time the code bases would severely diverge.

How feasible is this? Very, I hope.

It’s very feasible, but some of us will probably run old GrapheneOS Pixels or dumb flip phones for several years while the work gets done.
