Let’s get this done sooner rather than later; we cannot dither until the next administration comes in.In conversation permalink -

i'm more worried about android itself, including android open source project. as a worldwide basis, android essentially has a worldwide monopoly.alphabet inc may steer android into less open direction favoring or forcing google components. in that point android practically is not open anymore.
