There are no plans. I am not sure if there are Android devices powerful 
enough. And is there a proper software stack with GTK3 and all the stuff we 
need available for Android?

No, the user shouldn't care. It will help running dt on some exotic Linux 
distributions that use a non-standard libc.

No. Just export your own. :-)

The export would still work. It would just drop either the whole EXIF or parts 
of it. IIRC it's the whole thing missing.

No.
