The more, the better. If Google really decides to follow the fruit factory in closing down Android I hope that AOSP-derived distributions fork Android to create a large enough base to make it a worthwhile target for application development. Not matter what happens I'll hop off the Android train since I won't use a device with a Google account - never done so and never will. Nae lairds, nae kings, we are free men!
