docs(roadmap): formally defer Phase 7 — device profile ecosystem - #33
Merged

Conversation
Phases 3–10 shipped after Phase 7 was originally scoped, absorbing most of its value: harden covers recommended toggles, Phase 8 covers manufacturer-level flash guidance, Phase 5 covers per-device camera profiles, and Phase 10 adds form-factor detection. The remaining unique value (codename-level bug tracking) carries high maintenance cost with limited contributor bandwidth, and the remote profile index conflicts with the project's no-unsigned-remote-code principle. The note previously implied Phase 7 would resume after Phase 9; this commit removes that implication and documents the rationale clearly so future contributors don't re-open it without understanding why it was closed. https://claude.ai/code/session_01WKQja5GgRhArwfQGdF3dcW

Summary
Rationale
Phases 3–10 shipped after Phase 7 was originally scoped, absorbing most of its planned value:
why+tradeoff+fix_command)flash/guide.py(manufacturer-level)camera/profiles.py(7 devices)DeviceFacts.form_factorThe remaining unique value — codename-level bug tracking (e.g. "Pixel 6 Bluetooth dropout on LOS 20, fixed in LOS 21") — carries high ongoing maintenance cost with limited contributor bandwidth. Stale quirk data is worse than no quirk data.
The optional remote profile index would require GPG key management, hosting, and signing infrastructure in tension with the "no unsigned remote code" principle.
