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.

worth noting that Pinephone does boot against unpatched mainline (i.e. kernel.org) kernel. it’ll boot to a DE with graphics and touch working, but you lose WiFi/bluetooth, inherit some quirks with the backlight, proximity sensor, etc. no idea about the modem or audio.
