~~Well, you don't need to worry too much now as Android has gone (or is going) close source which may affect rom devs, making a private phone even more difficult unless linux becomes mainstream as an alternative.~~
Update: Crap, missed a bit of the article
Please disregard my previous message and confusion.
This is wrong. Google will now share Android code after each new Android release, instead of releasing over time in real time. This is not uncommon in open source projects.
I’m not defending, or claiming that they won’t try to make Android closed source eventually in the future, but right now what you said isn’t correct
It's definitely step in the wrong direction and knowing Google, they will not stop here.
