Way back before I made the jump to a Nexus S, I was maintainer of a CyanogenMod port. Granted there were other challenges involved with that (bypassing locked bootloaders with kernel module exploits) but I am well aware of what's involved. What Google is doing is a fucking waste of people's time for no reason whatsoever. And it's not just on the AOSP front--it's clearly a strategic platform decision.

I'm done with Google. On every front they are being assholes. The DOJ should have exploded Microsoft into bits and pieces back in the day the way they handled AT&T so that Google would fear the same.
