yeah, it is ambitious to say the least. There are several parts of the android framework that I would like to see rewritten from scratch (activity as a god object, love of inheritance everywhere in the framework classes, weak UI/animation framework, etc) but it is also a mature code base with tons of features, tools & open source libraries built around it.
