Is there any thought about this at all?
Hi Omar, I also thought about Fairphone at some point, spoiler alert, I love their work. It definitely makes sense, there's 2 main difficulties: we lack the people who could approach them (Fairphone or any other manufacturer, for that matter) with guaranties and I have the impression it wouldn't be all that easy to adopt the hardware under our software stack. On the other hand, I hope we all can pull these issues off, as a community. The main question is: who is on board and how are you going to help?
