From reddit:

We’re collaborating with other third-party launcher developers to gather feedback on common issues affecting users across different devices. The goal is to improve the experience for everyone using custom launchers.

In October, we’ll be attending a Google event and meeting with members of the Android team. It’s a great opportunity to share our findings, and your input could play a key role in helping us bring these concerns directly to Google.

Your feedback is important and could help improve the Android launcher experience for everyone. Thank you for helping us make a difference!

I haven't had too many issues with mLauncher, only the occasional freeze and crash. But it is a pretty lightweight launcher. Kvaesitso, which is a lot heavier, has had more issues for me. Is stability a common problem for third-party launchers? Even very popular ones like Nova?

Not stability, I think it's more about smoothness and integration with the system. Gestures were broken with third party launchers for a long time and still aren't as good as system
