A bold move would have been to put this on the next Pixel. Clearly, that's not happening. If that was at all feasible, they would have waited for that and that would have been the grand launch. So, clearly it's nowhere near ready for such a launch. That seems like a good thing to me. Personally I'm not very interested in an OS that's 'bold', I want an OS that's stable and well tested and releasing slowly on a limited set of devices seems a good way of doing that.
