And that was the purpose of this petition. To call-out the silent change of policy - only one major OS Upgrade for the Moto G range of handsets henceforth.
It’s been brought to our attention that there were some errors in our marketing materials around Android O upgrades for Moto G4 Plus. This was an oversight on our part and we apologize for this miscommunication. It’s our general practice for the Moto G family to get one major OS upgrade per device, but it’s important to us we keep our promises, so in addition to the N upgrade it has already received, we will be upgrading Moto G4 Plus to Android O. Because this is an unplanned upgrade, it will take some time to fit it into our upgrade schedule. Watch our software upgrade page for more information.
Okay so Moto g 4 plus is receiving Oreo . Therefore Motorola at least give osprey and Merlin nougat or at least Merlin as it is kind of a plus edition of 2015 Moto g and it has hardware to support android nougat( and vulkan) . They are just neglecting us ( the G3 users ) and that feels really bad .And that was the purpose of this petition.

There has already been a response from Motorola, and for the first time (afaik) the new policy has been officially stated.

There is no confirmation or hope for this.. people already enjoying Nought & Unofficial O ports on Osprey & Merlin... It's just a waste of time for me.. don't take me wrong as I'm not against this petition..Okay so Moto g 4 plus is receiving Oreo .

That's true also ! But there's some difference between stock and custom , a really different feel somehow and may be that's why people wanted a port of android n from lux . After seeing so many people making working roms for G3 , I don't think Lenovo would require much of a developer force to make a stock n for osprey and Merlin. Or atleast they can just port the lux ROM to our devices . There are still many people who like the stock and want to stay on stock (like me )There is no confirmation or hope for this.. people already enjoying Nought & Unofficial O ports on Osprey & Merlin...

Yes Bro..That's true also ! But there's some difference between stock and custom , a really different feel somehow and may be that's why people wanted a port of android n from lux .

The only USP Motorola had was long android upgrade support and fast updates and it looks like the both USP s are declining . Merlin is my last Motorola device .Yes Bro..
Even I'm also a stock lover & that's why sticked on stock for the first whole year until it's warranty void.. after that when they announced about N update list I was very disappointed.. still for some days i was waiting for any news that this device will be readded to N list like know they have done for Moto G 4 Plus.. but my wait was over when i have seen this petition & at the same time some N Custom ROM's are there in Testing stage.. I have joined that testing to enjoy the taste of N & after that not thinked about any official announcement will be made from Motorola for N update.. & Seriously now day's Motorola fooling it's customers when it comes to the Android OS updates..
Custom Roms is the only hope for Motorola owners now days..
No, probably not... There is no fix for Android yet, probably a generic security update a couple months old. Look in Settings - About Phone for the date.Got one security update in Merlin
