LineageOS already maintains these apps from what i understand
That is absolutely not a blow to ROMs by any means. There are plenty of good alternatives. For messaging, alternatives are even better. Dialer apps are just basic ones buy they do exists.
I do think it will have ramifications in the long run. Google is slowly closing the Android source. At some point it will affect core functions.
That is why we need to work towards having postmarketOs and similarprojectso going.
Let’s hope that Linux Phone OSes will be able to be daily drivers until then.
I’m amazed that Google was able to get away with dumping in developing Android.
These apps are open source, so a OS developer should be able to forward port the deprecated app into their newer OS release. Kinda fear monger a bit here

I use simple SMS anyway, I honestly would love to see a modern dailer for degoogled android. I wonder if we could get the little verified caller checkmarks on a Foss dailer app
Imagine if the dialer could sync a region specific spam blocklist

GrapheneOS will be fine. There are other open source apps available for carrier-based calls and texts. Development of the AOSP apps can also be continued Source: https://nitter.net/GrapheneOS/status/1669196420333682689

I’m not sure if GrapheneOS uses the stock dialer and SMS apps
Can confirm, they are the stock apps
