cyanogen the rom is not dead you silly people. cyanogen the stealth microsoft effort to fracture the android ecosystem with a more microsoft-aligned splinter resulting, which made google retaliate with the pixel (making the "latest" android something they control exclusively), is dead

i don't think it is terribly controversial, microsoft pumped in $70 million into cyanogen the company, and the only thing it really offered different from the community cyanogen mod rom was stuff like cortana integration, replacing the dialer/messaging app with skype, crowbar onenote into every crevice of the os, toss in a microsoft camera app i don't know, etc. (see https://mod.life/mods)
