    I don’t see the issue:

    1. F-Droid compiles the apps
    2. F-Droid publishes the apps
    3. F-Droid gets registered
    4. F-Droid subclasses app identifiers under its own

    …and things go back to normal.

    You won’t be able to update an F-Droid app with an Obtainium one, but Android is already warning about those, not allowing automatic updates from mixed sources.

      The thing is that changing the app id requires too much patching to thousands of apps, and the users will not be able to migrate from the current f-droid version.
