Surely the source of the f-droid app is also available so that project can be forked if they aren't getting new versions fast enough. On December 23, 2014 9:19:11 PM GMT+11:00, Brian May <brian@microcomaustralia.com.au> wrote:

Replicant along with the F-Droid app store is a far better example of a mobile operating system which attempts to provide software freedom for users, although its actual use is quite limited, even more so than GNU/Linux on desktops and laptops.
It is a shame that F-Droid seems to be out of date compared with software available on Play Store. This really kills the idea of having a open source Android phone without the proprietary Google stuff IMHO.
For example, Firefox on F-Droid is version 33.0, while Play Store has 34.0 and Beta version 35.0.
CSIPSimple on Play Store is version 1.02.03 with mention of fixing problems with Android 5.0, and from F-Droid is only version 1.02.01.
