SubjectForked android kernel development from linux kernel mainline
Date
Hi,
I was wondering what the long term implications of android development being forked from the linux mainline are?

Android support was removed from 2.6.33 onwards, and development still continues for 2.6.35, by reverting the commit that deleted android from the mainline.

One could argue that android gave linux a solid boost widespread adoption for mobile embedded devices, and its use would continue to grow exponentially with time, more than plain vanilla linux for embedded devices.

Was removing android from the linux kernel mainline a mistake, in retrospect?

Best regards,

Elvis Dowson
