@draken @fdroidorg We work to make sure that old versions remain working. That said, it is not likely that security issues in old unsupported releases will be fixed.

We've been working diligently to get #FDroid Client ready for release.
If naming our releases 'alpha' or 'rc' impeded you to update, now you are free to install.
As usual we are exercising this as a stage roll-out, so you can now expand Versions and install 2.0.
If it's the first time, or even the n-th time, you've heard about our new client work, you can read all the gritty details in the 15 mins post: https://f-droid.org/2026/09/24/f-droid-2.0-a-new-chapter-for-android-freedom.html
To everyone involved in delivering 2.0, a sincere "Thank You!"

@neil I agree, I'm talking about the actual power structures of the organizations. Debian is a constitutional democracy of its core contributors that have agreed to put users and free software first as a community: "Our priorities are our users and free software"

Users do not have a vote. From what I've heard, Wikimedia Foundation is similarly controlled by the volunteer editors.
Do you know of any free software project where users have a defined binding vote?
