GrapheneOS-Motorola Partnership

Motorola and GrapheneOS announced a new partnership for developing phones that meet GrapheneOS’s security standards (see Motorola News and GrapheneOS Forum Post). This strikes me as good news after GrapheneOS ran into problems related to what Google publishes related to Pixels. I have a Pixel 6a with GrapheneOS which should be good for a couple more years (once I swap its battery). Regarding Motorola, it remains to be seen (A) which Motorola devices will support GrapheneOS and at what cost and (B) whether and to what extent it will be possible to install GrapheneOS on aftermarket Motorola phones. But all in all, this looks like a step in the right direction.
(Aside: Since Motorola is a Lenovo company, it would also be interesting if this GrapheneOS partnership extended to select Lenovo tablets, but I assume phones are obviously the first priority.)
