@gregkh @joshbressers @kurtseifried While I’ve followed the Android work quite closely and that’s one of the reason I’m using a Pixel, Google is much different w.r.t. company culture than many other companies that I had in mind when writing this. Against all technical reasons they insist on staying out-of-tree. And I suspect that some of them will maybe use that development (i.e., working “against” back porting) to move in-tree too — but those who remain will do so more fiercely.
Do note, that this is nothing I defend — I basically want them to go in-tree-or-die :’D
