OnePlus vs Cyanogen?

"Poor OnePlus just can't take a break. Just as the company's busy taking care of its Black Friday promotion, its store opening in Beijing and its India launch with Amazon next week, a close partner decided to drop a hurtful bomb. Cyanogen Inc., the maker of OnePlus One's Android ROM, announced that it's now inked a deal with Micromax to exclusively support the latter's upcoming online brand Yu -- a direct competitor of Xiaomi -- in India. And by "exclusive" we do mean no love for OnePlus, who implies in its latest blog post that Cyanogen knew about its India plan all along, yet it was suddenly shunned to make way for a new partner over there. If true, this is a surprisingly childish move from an up-and-coming company that has no doubt benefitted much from its partnership with OnePlus thus far."

OnePlus Ones in China come with Oppo's ColorOS and not CM. But if OnePlus and Cyanogen fall out completely, and may end up in a lawsuit by the way things seem to be going between them. Future international OnePlus telephones could have ColorOS as well, or something else that isn't CyanogenMod?

This issue was put to rest about 2 weeks ago. With the launch of OPO in India, there are now 3 different region-specific versions of the OPO: China, Global and India. CM has 2 posts on their blog about ongoing updates and clarified the situation. You can find CM's words @ https://cyngn.com/blog/ If you bought a Global OPO from outside of India, you will continue to get support. Simple as that. Now if you live in India and got the India region-specific version you will not receive future updates from CM.

The Engadget article uses OP's blog post (https://oneplus.net/blog/2014/11/a-letter-to-our-indian-users/) as their source wherein OP states

The One will continue to be supported globally and receive frequent OTAs. In fact, the next update will pack some surprises with which we think you’ll be very happy. Cyanogen has unequivocally committed to continuing this global support and we look forward to working with them for another year on continuously improving our device.
....
Over the past year, we’ve often reflected on ways to better serve both. Those reflections led us to start developing our own Android team, as we’ve previously announced. That team was put in place originally to build the software which would power our future devices. So, though it’s not what we originally planned, we have shifted engineering efforts to the OnePlus One upon hearing this news. According to our current estimations, we’ll be able to release our first community build to our Indian users next month and have a production-ready build in February.

Our system will be based on Lollipop, and will be built to be stable, fast, and lightweight. True to our original promise of putting user experience first, it will be bloatware-free and only carry the features important to our users. We appreciate the work that Google has put into Android, and we have no plans of departing from Material Design nor adding unnecessary customizations. We can’t wait to hear your feedback and to build it together with you. We will commit to at least two years of support for the OnePlus One, starting from the release of our first community build.

Hopefully this can clear up any misconceptions people may have.

Sure. 8pm?

I’d like to reach a compromise here. Ship stock android in India. No mention of Cyngn in India and I will keep supporting oneplus for rest of world. And we can continue dialogue for other devices etc.
