What if I come up with a random package name, like "online.discuss.jim3692", register that name and a keypair, and then build ReVanced using that name and keys?

    Because Google will find out and revoke the key

    What if I keep the apks for me and my family, instead of publicly releasing them.

    This is probably similar to the state of Piped and Invidious. Google tries to kill them, so we are hosting private instances, instead of relying on public ones.
