maybe I am missing something.

even if a tag is not device-specific, doesn't it make sense to update the SPL?

e.g. if android-8.1.0_r70 has all the security patches applied from the November 2019 (and earlier) security bulletin, why not update the variable PLATFORM_SECURITY_PATCH?

Leaving it set to 2017-12-05 seems unnecessarily confusing.

The security backports are not device specific. Hence we are not updating the security string on those branches.

    That's very confusing!
