tl;dr: Responding to community backlash over perceived abandonment, Flipper Devices has reversed course and will continue maintaining the Flipper Zero firmware alongside its new hardware work. Going forward, feature requests will be handled via GitHub Discussions with community voting, stricter PR review rules (especially for AI-generated code), and public integration tests for regression testing. The team says firmware 1.0 was intentionally stabilized because the device's 700KB flash limit pushed features into loadable apps, and they'd considered the platform mission complete.
