So this will get users on to the next Android Framework version but if there are security bugs in vendor implementation or underlying firmware it'll still continue to be problematic for users. But it will solve the PR problem for Google if OEMs and Carriers update the framework version quick enough - the question raised mostly by tech pundits - when am I going to get the next update to Android - will have a satisfactory answer.
Not to say this isn't a huge step forward from status quo - if vendors contribute features and fixes to MediaServer and everybody uses the same implementation it will be much easier to update it for all vendors.
What still sucks is this is not going to be Google that will update the Android framework - it's still OEMs and the carriers.
