This headline really is misleading. The source will still be released, it just means that the work leading up to a release will be in private. IMO, there's nothing wrong with that, since it's likely that a lot of the intermediate com mediates are likely just noise.

I think the determinant will be how transparently this process is maintained.

Right - Google has been less than stellar with Chromium with ad revenue motivations behind manifest v3. One can only assume that other changes are being pushed and it'll be too late to fight when the OS ships before or same day as source.

As others say, it breaks contributions and any chance that other forks will keep up.
