FTA:

"The fork between Android and Linux all began in the fall of 2010, 'Google engineer Patrick Brady stated that Android is not Linux.' That was never actually the case. Android has always been Linux at heart."

"Things continued to go along much faster then anyone had foreseen. By December, Kroah-Hartman could write, 'by the 3.3 kernel release, the majority of the Android code will be merged, but more work is still left to do to better integrate the kernel and userspace portions in ways that are more palatable to the rest of the kernel community. That will take longer, but I don't foresee any major issues involved.' He was right."

"Today, you can compile the Android code in Linux 3.3 and it will boot. Still, as Kroah-Hartman warned, WakeLocks, still aren't in the main kernel, but even that's getting worked on. For all essential purposes, Android and Linux are back together again."
