F-Droid says Google’s new sideloading restrictions will kill the project

this would require users of nearly 3,100 apps to be reinstalled for the package ID change, loosing all data in the process

we have absolutely no idea if Google would allow a single entity to verify such a large amount of apps

this is also ignoring the large amount of apps in the F-Droid archive, some of which do still have use, that would never be updated for such package ID change or verificaiton
