Google is adjusting how Android is made, with the AOSP branch moving behind closed doors, leaving the entire OS to be privately developed.

    It just looks like staging to take it closed. This is just worse for the consumer any way you slice it.

        I am not sure, there was nothing stopping them from taking it fully closed now in one step. It is more likely making it open only after release is a measure to avoid all the community input spaff during development. So long and thanks for all the feedback.

          Sure there was. Backlash and bad publicity for one. This way they do it in small digestible bites.
