3 different ones ? Wonder what the differences are.

Build numbers but no description... very cryptic. My first thought was that they might have one for Project Fi, one for TMobile, and one for all others. But since they have only one Marshmallow build for N6 that works for all 3 maybe that's not the case.

According to AP's build calculator
"MDA89E is Android 6.0/Marshmallow, dated at approximately September 27, 2015."
"MDA89F is Android 6.0/Marshmallow, dated at approximately September 27, 2015."
"MDB08I is Android 6.0/Marshmallow, dated at approximately October 8, 2015."
Going to say... 2 builds preparing for the announcement/demo (perhaps a quick last minute fix in the second?) and a build with some fixes to ship out on the phones/previews.

Is it odd that the binary blobs aren't up yet???

I've got E on my device, so looks like the latest is I, I guess at some point we get an OTA update?

Maybe it has something to do with Android Pay being preinstalled, its available in the US but not in other regions, perhaps until it is rolled out worldwide, google will have to maintain separate images, mine is an MDA89E in the UK.

I'm on E also in the UK

im on E as well.. in the US, on VZ.. so much for immediate updates.. sheesh..

Doesn't Google push the OTA to every device, regardless of carrier? I know the factory images are universal, just like the OTAs on Google's factory image resource.

Hmm, so partners get bulletin a full month in advance? I wonder if that includes the source or that comes after the bulletin.
If they have a month head start (not Nexus, which Google releases, I mean LG or Samsung branded), most of these guys should be able to get stuff out before Google assuming they have things streamlined.

Android 8.0 Offical Release Date scheduled for August 21st

The rumors are true! Android 8.0.0 will officially launch on August 21st along with the day of the solar eclipse.
Information regarding the countdown can be located on the official android site at : https://www.android.com/eclipse/
Yes, old news and just two threads down from yours
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/evan-blass-pixel-o-week-august-21st-t3656083
I like your thread title better though.
It has been confirm by evan blast that it will be OREO
Will this just be an announcement or does the official release date mean that we will get images and OTAs on the same day, or maybe on the September security patch day?

From what I know, the countdown is when they will reveal Android O and push the OTAs, although the OTAs may be delayed due to update delays and such.

Does November 5th security patch include the fix for KRACK?

If that's the name of the latest Wi-Fi bug discovered recently...
I updated with no problem but wanted confirmation this had been fixed.
Edit: yeah, that's the name https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KRACK

Yes. Google is your friend.
... right.
But XDA is my best friend!
Jokes apart, I searched in this forum and not finding anything I thought it hadn't been covered elsewhere. I was wrong. Sorry.
A different question. Is it normal that Nexus 6P is not getting November 6th 2017 security patch level but only November 5th 2017?

Is the latest update on the Nov 5th or 6th patch? Google's announcement states the Nov 6th security patch specifically resolves this exploit:
https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2017-11-01#top_of_page
Edit: I'm still on 7.1.2 but I've seen some 5X/6P folks say we're on Nov 5th patch level.

Yes, the November update for the 6P has the November 5th patch date, and so it does appear that the 6P didn't catch it this month. It was only this morning that I went back to discover it was not on the 6th, and so my earlier response was incorrect. I just assumed we had the patch latest date... because we always have in the past. Sorry for that.
Previously, the patch levels have always been the 1st and 5th. This is the first time I know of that there were three patch level dates, and the notes are clear the KRACK vulnerability is addressed in the November 6th patch. Other supported devices may have received the 6th patch level this month. Looks like the 6P will have to wait until next month (or 8.1 DP2).

All good. Hopefully Google will push another factory image for Nov 6th. It's weird there is no mention of the KRACK vulnerability on the Pixel/Nexus specific bulletin below:
https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/pixel/2017-11-01
But there is on the Android security bulletin I linked in my last post. Maybe that is to distinguish that the vulnerability is Android wide? I do think it would help clarify that they addressed this on Pixel/Nexus devices per the respective bulletin. Guess we'll see if another image is released this month.
Edit: Extra info about the Pixel/Nexus specific security bulletins btw:

This is why I was asking about this being normal. By reading the release notes I suspected KRACK fix was not included.
Not patching KRACK in November seems like a bad joke to me. They explicitly promised to patch it in the November patch...

Leaks suggest August 20th release date of Official Android P

Leaks suggest that August 20 2018 Google will release Official Android P.. name is still unclear but it will be the name of a dessert (treat) starting with P.
Last few Android major releases were all released at about this time in August, so this makes sense. Then we will get a .1 bump when Pixel 3 is released in November.

If I remember rightly Oreo was released on 21st so makes probably would call this leak legit
Seems about right. Google said it would be released in the 3rd quarter and last year Android O was released August 21st.
Official Android p is coming this month signs of release
Now I've been paying attention to Google I know every month on the 5th Google releases a security patch update well I believe that Augusts security patch will only be included in the official Android p update coming later this month on the 20th..

No June 2021 Pixel Feature Drop

I have Android 11 on my Pixel 4 with the latest June June 2, 2021 security patch but I don't have the June 2021 Pixel Feature Drop. What could be the issue?
same for me

Let's hope and see when it gets to us. I read that it's a server-side upgrade so it will take some time to roll out to every pixel 3 and newer user.

Mine just dropped. I can see a locked folder option now in my google photos.
