Update on Android 14 for Fairphone 3(+)

Ahh, downstream kernels strike again. Having identified that problem back in 2017 (and @z3ntu then continuing to prove that it’s in fact possible to boot an upstream kernel on the FP2!), has Fairphone since taken a position on topics of upstream kernel support and/or minimising the downstream changes required on top of a forked LTS kernel to easily rebase against newer LTS kernels? Seems to me like this is a big missing piece in the puzzle for longevity without compromising security.
