Being run by the project developers left after the primary dev’s departure and (if you’ll excuse the drama) betrayal by selling to what amounts to an advertising company. Personally I’ve started supporting this project on github, as losing these tools would be a massive blow to the open source Android ecosystem.
No clue, I’m not sure SMT have said anything, tibbi has been pretty quiet. Regardless, I’d stay very far away and would be researching other custom Android versions or a new phone entirely if I had one.
