They could release open-source and mainlined versions of that stuff then. I guess they wouldn't because they probably consider Android incompatible with their other goals.
- subway 9y agoThe work they're doing is effectively that. There's nothing stopping Android from running on top of the kernel work they're doing. Think of their work as developing an open source BSP. It looks like much of the UI work is being punted to whatever phone ui the KDE and Gnome projects churn out. An Android userland will likely ship in parallel or shortly after. The bits AOSP handles are by and large boring and don't need to be futzed with.
