    I wonder if it wouldn’t be better for Google to put Android under the purview of the Linux Foundation and just focus on GMS.

    That move might lessen monopoly scrutiny by the worlds governments

      It would be really awesome if they gave up AOSP governance to a foundation under the linux foundation but I doubt they would. They recently made Android development completely private.
