We were told at the last FOSDEM that LineageOS kept maintaining the source of a given Android version longer than Google, and in practice we probably saw patches being added to fix security issues after Google stopped supporting Android 6. However more recently I saw less and less patches from LineageOS for Android 6, and I'm not sure there are new changes anymore, so Replicant 6 probably has many security vulnerabilities. In another hand we didn't implement backdoors and continue to fix privacy issues in Replicant 6 as well, and while we're working on Replicant 9, we still have people using Replicant 6 as Replicant 9 is not ready yet. We're also not sure yet on how much work would be needed to support other devices than the Galaxy SIII (GT-I9300) for Replicant 9. That also depends a lot on the specific device. Denis.
