Apparently, Fairphone now consider “the information for the end users is well-written and clear enough”, so the rollout would seem to continue.
It wasn’t stopped because of the issue (in this case it wouldn’t have started in the first place as the issue came up in beta-testing), but because of the missing communication.
Looks a bit low-key, though. We (and Fairphone support) will just see how many users will miss this.
