Looks like PostmarketOS (mainline Linux for phones, with choice of frontend, such as Plasma Mobile or Phosh) has demoted all their previous "Main"-tier devices to "Community" or lower tier:

https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices#Main

Anyone know whether this is a sign of a push for being daily driver quality? Or a sign that volunteers previously doing promising work have drifted away, and they're acknowledging that?

Main is described as "The most supported devices, with all the features and stability you'd expect from a regular OS."

Unfortunately there was/is no device supported by postmarketOS that fits that description. You'll need at least good telephony support including 4G features like VoLTE, proper camera support (not potato polaroid from the 80s quality), Wifi, Bluetooth, geolocation, working GPU acceleration, media hardware decoders, decent battery life. And I'm probably forgetting a few things.

Let's hope that initiatives like https://liberux.net/ will help make a fully working, long lasting device available!
