Form that committ, it seems to me that LOS is finally allowing signature spoofing for microg (under certain conditions). Have they finally changed their mind?

Cool, but I wonder why they finally agreed on signature spoofing. IIRC, the were quite adamantine on not allowing it.

I don't know but the nature of the patches shifted over time. I believe initially, they allowed any app (or any system app?) to spoof signatures which I'd also agree to not allow. The current patches only allow it for the Google Play services and Play Store which is a much smaller attack surface.
