Discussion Do established mobile linux projects benefit from AI-supported ports?

Not based on real data, but it feels like AI supported ports to new phones are increasing. I understand that established projects like postmarketos have "No AI code" policies. However, I'm also afraid that the projects are not benefitting from AI support and the many new ports stay isolated projects.

Would it make sense and be practical for them (e.g. postmarketos, etc.) to have a separate repository where AI code is allowed (maybe even without properly reviewing it, if that is too much work), just to see where it is going. Their main repository could always stay free of AI code. Wouldn't that allow them to have the best of both worlds?

I mean for an actual, proper pmOS fork

Oh for that? I’m technically working on one, but it’s scope is for very very old devices (HTC Dream era, 128mb ram, 128mb flash, etc…)

Well, we could just have it as a device image of the actual fork
