I don't think I made myself clear; I am relievd because I thought I was going to lose access to my apps in the next update cycle. The thought of that filled me with anxiety, but now I have more time to prepare.
I'm hoping that something like lineageOS will be unaffected and will be available for my device before Google remove sideloading altogether
Custom ROMs are unaffected, for now, but Google's gonna find other ways to kill those.
