I really hope it will fare better than NewBlue and BlueDroid... https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/09/14/the-rise-and-fall-o...

NewBlue died because I quit Google. I started that project and was its main motive force.

Unclear why you're being downvoted here -- I seem to remember you, and I definitely remember hearing about NewBlue while we were working on Bluedroid. At the time it wasn't clear what happened. When did you leave?

I am also not sure about the downvotes, but c'est la vie. I was dmitrygr@, i left apr 2019

Bluedroid is the old stack. Zach and co started the floride project to clean it up, but it seems GD is their attempt to totally rewrite it.
