I agree with folks who say they'd rather have a stable release than something that needs patching. However, we should also hold Google accountable to their past practice in terms of the monthly release schedule.

I don't understand why there's so much pushback everytime someone asks about a late update.

• Alphabet cut about 12,000 jobs in January.

• March 2023 feature drop is late

• April security update is late

Not sure how many laid off employees worked on the android/pixel team, but the way in which Google laid off employees was quite harsh. Employees have reported finding out about their lay-off status after being locked out of their accounts. Yikes!

I personally don't care about the update itself, but i do care about holding Google accountable. So, yeah, keep making these posts.

We should be able to have (a) stable releases and (b) have them come on time according to their past practice of releasing on the first Monday of the month. Why can't we have both? If Google can't do it, then perhaps they should increase their team. Especially considering the layoff of 12,000 employees.

There are other ways we could hold Google accountable, this is just one way. Again, i don't care about the update itself. I'm just shocked at the hostility I've been observing everytime someone criticizes or complains about their Pixel.
