    Is there much that can be done in terms of brick mitigation? Entirely the kind of project I’d like to tinker with, but the brick factor is a big disincentive to learning by doing.

      I’m no porting expert, but to me there seems like they pick mostly well documented phones that already has a history of being worked on by other tinkerers like Lineage, Mobian, PMOS. They also tend to be cheap ish to buy used or they come from a company with a good history with open bootloaders, like the Fairphones.
