    F-Droid does automated patching already, they often remove “anti-features”. The migration is a PITA, but not the end of the world, Kiwix did that recently (split into Play Store and F-Droid versions).

      That patch is manually added. Moreover, some apps have hard binding with their id, making the situation more complicated. Kiwi is not on f-droid at all. They host their own version. It might be easier for the app authors to do it. But f-droid maintainers don’t have this capacity.

        My bad, Kiwix is on IzzyOnDroid. You’re right, F-Droid itself might have a tougher time.
