I'm looking forward to being proven wrong and seeing that there are 9
people instead of the estimated 6. That, however, won't change my opinion
on this issue.

Subsurface is open source - you all are capable of building your own APK
with whatever features you desire. If you decide to make such APKs
publicly available (be it as download or through the play store) I
politely request that they are NOT called Subsurface, Subsurface-mobile,
or something closely derived from those names, simply to avoid end user
confusion - but since this isn't a registered trademark I of course cannot
force you to do so.
