We have a saying in English that seems appropriate here-- "ZINGGGGG!"

We know the issue is there, we've known about it for a very long time, we know how painful it is for anyone who tries to actively participate to platform development, but that doesn't mean that anybody who takes part in the discussion here has the power to fix it (and I've already talked to the people who talk to the people who can fix it... to the point where I was asked to stop as I was getting annoying and no progress was coming out of it). Now, it's up to you to decide whether you want to be constructive, or whether your interest lies in whining and pointing fingers. We have a saying in French that goes along the lines of "critique is easy, art is hard". If you want to permanently stay on the sidelines (or in the stands) waiting for someone else to deal with problems that you can't be bothered to tackle yourself, it's your choice. If you want to actually walk on the field and be part of the action, come on in. Your continuous stance toward Google is evidence that you believe that actions speak louder than words. The ball is now in your camp, everybody is waiting for your actions. Set your priorities, publish your roadmaps, deliver on your promises, show everyone how it's done. Re-saying what I wrote earlier, one way to participate would be to un-evolve/down-port the lower layers of Android so that they can continue running on a given released version of the Dream proprietary files. If that's not good enough for you, you could also participate in the efforts to get Android running on some hardware that's more open than that, e.g. the Openmoko Freerunner, the Nokia Internet Tablets, or the Trolltech Greenphone (each of those has advantages and drawbacks, and I know that there are people already actively working on the first two).
