    OK, this sounds problematic. I don’t see any obvious language for opting out and it doesn’t seem there’s intent to opt out. There’s probably going to be a dev option to allow it but that would probably still make installing from sources like F-Droid impractical.

      there is already a dev option that users need to enable to use fdroid and such, and google wants to change that now. I doubt that they will just add a 2nd dev option, because that wouldn’t change anything.

        It’s not a dev option at the moment. It’s a permission setting and it doesn’t require enabling developer options.
