Well I don't think so. It was really cool to build apps like a mesh up of activities others implemented. I know a lot of developers who used exactly this intents and this change really killed all of them. Only Google apps like "Search" are still able to use these intents. This is not what I expect from an open platform where 3rd party developers should be able to write apps with the same quality as Google. But ok if your argumentation goes that way, what shall I say, well done my app is dead. I'm pretty sure others too.
