How does this affect custom ROMs like lineageOS?

Wondering the same about GrapheneOS

[–] azalty@jlai.lu 32 points 5 days ago

Platform developers, including those who build custom ROMs, will largely also see little change, since they typically base their work on specific tags or release branches, not the main AOSP branch. Similarly, companies that release forked AOSP products rarely use the main AOSP branch due to its inherent instability.

Depends on how much they contribute back. Graphene has a history of contributing to AOSP, so it will make things more difficult for that, but not really for the ROM development itself. I'm not sure how Lineage is structured these days.
