The point is to have a starting point that works. Shashlik is far from a finished product. My understanding is that the plan is for Shashlik to eventually become part of Plasma Mobile and the emulator will be replaced once it is no longer needed.

Sony's announcement is great progress and is something I never imagined they'd do in a million years given their history. I wish it would be that simple to make libhybris-less ports. You've still got to consider the 3rd party graphics binary blobs that have been written for SurfaceFlinger and Bionic libc. I don't expect these will be part of their mainlining effort.

Edit: Somehow I overlooked the part where they mentioned that they're working on Freedreno so there is hope. :)
