Is this the end of custom ROMs?

Between Xposed and a "better" standard android, a lot of the "big" custom ROMs have bit the dust. Aokp, paranoid, slim, omni is moribund, and now CM?

The only feature from CM that I miss is the ability to hold the volume up button to skip to the next track (as a global option, not just a per-app thing). Everything else that they did so well has pretty much been added to stock android.

And the fact that they support old phones, and their privacy guard is better than stock android

I don't bother with custom roms as much as I used to, I'm happy enough with root to nuke bloatware and get a systemwide ad-blocker installed.

OEM's are finally gaining a little bit of taste in the UI department and I'm not revolted with their products out of the box as much as I used to be.
