Good news, although I’ve been holding off on updating to 15 as, last I heard, it was causing issues with Pixel 6 Pros. Not sure if that’s been solved yet, need to go have a look.

Maybe the management hasn’t decided on the exact promises they’re willing to make? Also there’s two years left before it becomes important, while previously there was always a generation going out of support within a year.
