Presumably you're referring to the Verizon Galaxy Nexus. That was a unique situation which won't happen again, as no more Nexus phones will be coming to Verizon. Moreover, in the years since the Galaxy Nexus, Google has made huge strides in moving as much of the Android OS into independently updatable apps as possible.

As one of the many whose international 2013 Nexus 7 LTE mysteriously took three extra weeks (compared to the other Nexus devices) to get the 4.4.3 update and still hasn't gotten 4.4.4 (unless that fix was rolled into the late 4.4.3), I'm not that confident the Galaxy Nexus situation is unique. It may just be a coincidence, but it's hard not to notice that OS updates were faster before the US Nexus 7 LTE was certified on Verizon. Hopefully, the Android L update will be better, but I worry.
