It will always be that way. That's sort of the nature of the project.
It's a huge leap forward from where we were though, where every phone has a proprietary OS/UI that was complete crap.
Where we were, pre-Android, was a ready-for-primetime iOS. 3 years on and Android still can't maintain a stability that iOS has. Pretty much true for every open source OS..
There is the theory of the moebius. A twist in the fabric of space where time becomes a loop.
