I don't know that it really has anything to do with fragmentation, just
that the companies modifying OSA code don't take the time to do so
carefully when pushing major version upgrades to previously lisenced
devices.  Nor do they seem to ever check for additional updates after
getting whatever release candidate from Google.

Motorola,  for example, introduced a wpa_supplicant bug that prevents
authentication on secured wireless connections for some subset of original
Verizon Droid devices...  I don't remember, V  2.2 or 2.3 of android
maybe?   Subsequent updates have only been to introduce additional bugs, or
remove the ability to gain root-level access (fixing "security" holes).
Nothing through three updates has addresses the wireless issue, even though
release notes for one said it was to "improve wireless performance".

Do you mean in relation to your application, or just on device behavior in
general?
