The big problem is, I think many apps will cease to get updates as the devs stop developing on Android. Just running F-Droid is not going to solve this.

    My favorite Android apps are developed by people like myself who just wanted that app, and don't really care if anyone else uses them.

    I assume we will all join the same BitTorrent link cloud thingy and swap APK files directly, if Google locks down Android.

    I will also switch to a Linux phone that much sooner, I imagine.

    Edit: Pro tip - if that world happens and you want stick with the crazy free range folks, look for updates in 2600 Magazine.

    I don't know, Linux? But if they don't want to get the dev certificate I doubt they continue to develop on Android.
