@bill88t@c.im Wow, what instance lets you posts toots like this. That's like a genuine blog post length. I have to segment my reply :P
Anyway - the time gap is probably the best way to make people reconsider installing something stupid and also preventing scammers from taking over their device while on a phone call or something.
On the other hand these changes will make using FDroid harder, and I think normies should be allowed to use F-Droid without being nagged and screamed at.

@bill88t@c.im I can see the good that can come from these changes, but I can also see some bad that will come, and I think Google should be able to hear the voice of people who are concerned about their factual ownership of the devices they bought. So I don't think we should shut up about this and just wait. Remember Unity game engine fiasko with John Riccitiello? FDroid community is infinitesimal compared to game dev crowd. Outcry matters. The CEO stepped down and all changes were reversed.
