Google is usually pretty quick to upload source code to AOSP after release on Pixel. Android 16 has been highly unusual though, with the only source code release done 3 months ago in June, when it was initially released. https://

The 24h timeline sounds very tight. I wonder how much they'll be able to stick to it.
