Google's Android code deleted from Linux kernel
After removing Google's Android driver code from the Linux kernel, Novell Fellow and Linux developer Greg Kroah-Hartman has argued that Android is incompatible with the project's main tree.
Kroah-Hartman deleted the Android drivers on December 11 - Android code is no more as of version 2.6.33 kernel release - and yesterday, with a post to his personal blog, he explained the move in detail.
"No one cared about the code, so it was removed," writes Kroah-Hartman. "As I've stated before, code in the staging tree needs to be worked on to be merged to the main kernel tree, or it will be deleted."
