On the other hand, the source is available, so you have done everything in your power to ensure that the software can continue to be developed in the future.

It has become more difficult to root devices and it will become even more difficult

Xposed still needs flashing to install

Xposed development is slow and fragmented

There are good reasons why XPrivacy is not under active development anymore:As a result the interest in XPrivacy is decreasing.IMHO there is not enough basis to put a lot of effort into this project anymore, because its foundation is basically broken.Since the latest release there were no contributions by other developers, so it is reasonable to assume there will be no further developments by anybody else (except from cloning things).Edit: these were basically the reasons to start the NetGuard project as well. Limiting outgoing connections is possible without root and can significantly increase your privacy as well.
