Not a good news for the original PP. I personally don't use Mobian and I just use megi's kernel, but I understand their concerns.

I could handle an overpriced phone if the device were viable for day-to-day use. Unfortunately the battery life is so compromised that even if we had a totally flawless mobile OS running on it, it still wouldn't work out as a phone.

In this case it's better to think of it as a development platform.
