[BlindTlk] motorola update policy adverse to users

[Jude DaShiell]

Motorola just released a flagship phone costing $999 this week.
The problem with that phone and my guess is all other motorola phones is
that those phones will get one operating system update during their
lifetimes.  After that if you want another operating system update, you
have to root the phone and install it or find someone you pay and trust to
do it for you.
I have a moto G7 and expected it would get android 10 on it by the end of
2019 but that hasn't happened yet.
This is adverse to users from a security standpoint since operating
systems have been and can be hacked beyond any ability to prevent those
hacks with any patches to existing operating systems.
Several operating system kernels on several commercial distributions of
software some of them proprietary have long-standing well documented
problems of this nature.
Until such time as Motorola's operating system updates policy improves I
don't recommend buying any of that hardware or replacing existing hardware
with more motorola hardware.
