That is complete speculation. There are tons of reasons why Google wouldn't switch Android "over", including established development environments, drivers, and licensing.
It's fun to speculate on the purpose of this but it's just that: speculation.
Don't get me wrong: there are massive improvements to the existing linux ecosystem just ripe to be made, but many of them are in the environment and not just the kernel.

Drivers can be fork lifted by implementing KPI compatibility, and that can be done in a shortest path fashion or done in a way to realize new protection from the new OS. Development environments can be preserved indefinitely with image activation and personalities. The first never mattered to Apple, and the second was effectively realized on OS X.
