Now how can this affect fdroid?
Not at all.
It means OWS has knocked down yet another blocker in the path to
inclusion in F-Droid
Nope.
Reproducibility
Iirc they still require play-services to build, just not to run. We
wont taint our buildsystem. Best hope is Eutopia switching over to
official or reproducibile builds using upstream signature. OWS will
not provide an official F-Droid repo and iirc they have no interest in
any 3rd party doing so.

I have no plans to distribute this through f-droid, and don’t see what
the advantage of doing so would be.
