That would be the ideal outcome, yes, since the framework is your baby. Failing that, what can you think of that will speed up the process of learning and modifying your code to suit our ends? Whenever I encoutner a new technology that I have to learn, especially if there are timeframes involved, the first thing I do is try to find someone who knows a lot more than I do onthe subject to see if they can 'fasttrack' me and/or point out pitfalls or traps or deadends etc... you guys are the experts in the room.
Look at it from the point of view that of a company that is considering Android for a product , but perhaps the framework doesnt support what they need to do out of the box. And its a showstopper. that company can make a private modficiation to the framework and now it has a maintainence hassle on its hands supporting that, and whats more the developers are new to android (I mean, who isnt new to android - its new!) doing the feasibility study, probably under time pressure to make a decision.. If they could go to the powers that be with 'the android team is looking into this' or 'the android team suggests this approach, and says not to do it this way because...' you get the idea. hypothetically speaking.
