     @codemonkeymike @cinimodev I've had an Android update remove critical basic communication functionality I depended on (SIP) and require me to go see out klunky 3p apps to replace it.

     @ailepet @codemonkeymike @cinimodev However you can downgrade them (component wise not just the whole system).

     @dalias @codemonkeymike @cinimodev That's because the vendor decided so. In that regard, Linux distros could do the same thing to you regardless of being immutable or not. However, an Android upgrade entirely nuking your device is, by design, less probable than an Ubuntu upgrade doing so.
