After shitting myself and realizing I don't have the brain capacity to fix the conflicts from the security patches, I have decided that I will rebase Devolution X on LineageOS so I can cherry-pick and merge everything from crDroid. This will also give the ability for our buildbots to just get the lineage trees and use them directly for Devolution X, removing the need for the maintainers entirely! Please understand that this decision will bring plenty of stability to the rom as I am devolving the only respectable thing I did in the Android community.
