This sounds like an excellent principle. I would disagree about removing parts of the OS though, as that would add a lot of work to maintaining it and need additional server space (with heating footprint...) but there are other ways of using old phones, by selecting different elements from the UT. Those should be left in the OS too.

Asteroid OS for Asus and LG watches is built on Qt, QML and libhybris. Does that mean a close synergy with UT should be possible? [Invite Florent Revest to a future Q&A?]

@UBportsNews My question is ~ What potential might the new kernel in the Pinephone provide? Improved bluetooth; disk encryption; image and video processing; new UI features?

Pinephone - future camera capabilityposted in General
Re: [PinePhone]
I of course understand that the first iteration of the Pinephone has a camera module which is chosen for basic utility and no more. None of the operating systems projected to run on it will have any significant image post-processing capability, so everything hangs on the inbuilt features of the chosen camera hardware. My 'dream ticket' for a Pinephone 2 would be the module used in the OnePlus3 - back illuminated, RAW capable and with optical image stabilisation
