<p>This release includes the 2nd quarterly release of Android 13 (QPR2) and is
why the March release of the Android Open Source Project and stock Pixel OS
ended up rescheduled to the 2nd Monday of the month rather than the 1st Monday
of the month. QPR2 includes dozens of additional recommended privacy/security
patches beyond the baseline March Android Security Bulletin. Shipping the full
monthly, quarterly and yearly releases rather than only the subset of patches
backported to older releases and listed in the Android Security Bulletins is
quite important.</p>
<p>We expect the official March release of the stock OS and Android Open
Source Project for the Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 6a to be on March 20th
(3rd Monday of the month). Our currently release provides the full March
Android Security Bulletin patches for them but the Pixel bulletin patches
require an official release since the full set of changes isn't published
yet.</p>
