The initial post definitely struck a nerve in the community -- a surprising
number of developers took it upon themselves to pester Google developer

not seen much on this subject coming out of Mountain View. I suspect that I'll
be writing another post, perhaps tomorrow, pointing out Google I|O sessions
that might be of relevance on this subject.
Thanks for resharing these excellent posts, Mark.

I think it is time we speak up about this issue more, if only to get
some more attention on F-Droid.
