It's super weird not to provide a GSI, it's pretty easy to do, and would allow you to reach hundreds of phone models with just one build. Are you pursuing this

  Yes that's weird ;-) Especially from me: I began working on android by building a GSI, maybe you remember, we've been in touch on a few issues. The problem is: lack of time, always something else to do that we consider of higher priority. Maybe a bad strategy and we should reorder our priorities though, especially because GSIs became a so great stuff, thanks to your incredible work. Distributing a GSI has a nasty counterpart though: the extreme diversity of issues that it immediately generates. Having maintained a GSI for some time and tried to improve it as much as I could to solve at least boot problems etc, I perfectly know how time-consuming it is... An option would be to provide no support for it, but I don't find that satisfactorily. So, maybe we'll build a GSI at some point in time, or we'll provide help and some kind of official support to someone for building and maintaining one, now that we opened our sources.
