My comment was a bit of tongue in cheek
I wouldn't agree that BB10 is the realization of acl fear.
the issues with BB10's android player are twofold; the fact that it's using gingerbread and thus limits the functionality and feature richness of some android ports to that which was available on the 2.3 builds and the laziness of devs who chose to use the auto packaging functionality of the SDK rather than port their native code over and rebuild using cascades (or an appropriate alternative within the SDK available).
I also strongly believe that a lot of the junk android ports (both native and those brough over from the ndk are from amatuers/beginners who merely downloaded code from various public repos and though they might make a quick buck, either froom the incentive options or BBworld sales.
ACL is different kettle of fish, and my only concern lies with how they will implement and integrate native Sailfish UI funcionality when running android apps through this layer
