I understand your concerns, but you can check the source I provided. It's the same thread where the DP was released. The OEM image is even the exact same. You don't have to believe me, I just saw that this wasn't posted here yet, so I figured I'll link it for english speaking audiences, who don't want to use Google Translate or simply don't know that it's out there.

Greetings!

EDIT: Goddamn, I just wanted to share some screenshots to confirm it's indeed legit, but unfortunately I can't even post pictures because of my low post count.

Really? Mine's still showing "Wileyfox Swift"? Well, that's weird, but if it still works, I guess it shouldn't matter.

Sounds interesting. Are there any known bugs or lacking functionality?

I didn't edit anything, I installed the OEM images and the DP5 system & boot images and then dirty flashed the full release. I don't know if that makes a difference. In build.prop my device is listed as "seed"(GM 4G) but anyway it's still showing "Wileyfox Swift" in Settings

No, everything works. It's an official OTA from Google for an Android One device.

Followed the instructions in first post...installed fine but I'd recommend a wipe of cache,data otherwise first boot hangs.
Everything seems to work but you can see its an initial build...jerky animations for example. After a brief play I restored my CM 13 backup. There's a world of difference in polish and options between the two at the moment.
