Comment Upstream is the only way (Score 4, Interesting) 9

I have just come out of working with Android Automotive for the last 6 years and being the first to deploy it in a real car (whilst also working on lots of other very large OSS platforms previously)
Upstream is the only way, our SOC vendor was having to manage 500+ patches against android and linux which was an awful lot to manage everytime upstream changed.
I see the price of being able to use OSS is to be a good citizen and upstream those patches you have which will also benefit your by reducing your maintenance burden, and as stated in the article keep down fragmentation.

That said, Android will be changing to Fuchsia soon right so Linux will be a dead end for Android soon.

you don't have scrum - the scrum master's role is to help the team apply scrum. yours isn't doing that, he's being the usual "pretty bad project manager", pushing the development team around reactively when he'd be better off leaving the scrum team to plan their stories, while he greases the wheels between the devteam and the organisation/client.
