oh sorry i didn't know there were promises made re home button or 
lock app replacements. what were they?

do you really want lock app replacements that ship your phone ID and 
lock code around the network?

>Fairly open != open.

can you, or can you not, create exactly the Android distro you want? 
yes, you can. hence, open. the owners of distros, which could be you, 
decide how open particular distros are.

>Apples and oranges.

not at all -- stick whatever drivers you like in your distro. nobody 
else's distro is obliged to take them. ditto your lock app 
replacement or home button override. this arrangement is a feature, 
IMHO.
