4.0.2 update, but no security patch update?

Just wondering if someone more familiar with the way OP rolls these things out, if they only update their security patches with Android version changes, or if they roll out monthly ota's to keep them up to date.
Looking at the Jan. patch update, it seems there are several vulnerability issues addressed, so it would seem to be in OP's best interest to get an update out ASAP.

Official SW support

I am considering buying this phone. For how long do you think it will be getting official SW updates?
How often are any minor/major updates currently with 3T/oneplus in general?
I can't use any custom rom as my company will not allow me to use Mobile Iron, so I have to stay on official ROMs only.

OnePlus rolls updates when necessary bugs fixes/new features.
No update schedule..

Oneplus send updates via email when there is any bug or fixes.

[Searching...] Custom-ROM with OTA updates and without Android Andoid Auto issues

Hi,
I am looking for a custom ROM for my father's Huawei P8 Lite 2017. It has to have OTA Updates and it must not have the well known Huawei-Android-Auto-Issues. Because it is for my father, it should run "out-of-the-box" with the mostly used functions (like camera, google apps etc.). I am going to be the one, who installs the ROM, but he will use it.
I was looking to LineageOS / CyanogenMOD, but nobody writes about the Android-Auto-Issues. These issues are the main reason for the wanted change from stock to custom ROM.
Which one can you recommend?
Greetings from Germany.

There are no official roms for this phone and no ota updates either. As far as I can tell development on nougat roms has stopped or slowed down significantly and I wouldn't expect any more updates. Oreo on the other hand is still in beta and roms are still in early builds so quite a few issues/stuff not working is to be expected. I would suggest flashing lineage 14.1, everything is working and it's been recently updated with april security patch but no more updates are coming.
Edit: CrDroid is official with ota updates

As far as OTA Updates, you have CrDroid, this has just been updated as an official ROM on CrDroid site, you just need to be on EMUI 8 in order to install that ROM
Although, I have no idea if it has any issues with Android Auto, but considering that its a Treble ROM, it might not have

Now that we're on an official pie release, are we finally project treble compliant?

And if so, can we finally expect faster security updates?
Easier updates to custom ROMs and/or a not so delayed update to Android Q would also be great, but at the very minimum, if we could get a faster pathway to important security updates, it would be a real sign of progress...

Best ROM Support?

For the roms which are currently available, which one will offer the most support and updates into the future? Pixel Experience or Havoc? Who will add the latest security patches? I would prefer to stick with 1 rom only and not change

If you're prepared to widen your options then Lineage OS will have absolutely the best support once it gets official status. They have by far the biggest team to maintain and update the OS. It has nightly builds and security patches added more or less as soon as they become available. This will be the case for as long as somebody is able/prepared to maintain it for this phone. There are 6/7 year old phones that are still maintained and are on the official roster of builds.
That's not to say that you can't get the same level of support on other ROMs, but if Lineage goes official for this phone, then you've got more of a guarantee on that level of support being maintained long term.
