I really don't care about porting it; especially given that it's rather horrible at the moment.

My point earlier was that Android N's version was not a good solution at all. Copying that, or just porting that would be a waste of time for most. Especially given that Alien Dalvik has been halted at 4.4 or so. SFDroid being at version 7.0 would be a coup; but I almost have to doubt it until it's a delivered product.

Innovation needs to happen. Jolla's solution needs to be better. I think the options of "just doing stuff because it can be done" as opposed to really getting it right is why these platforms are somewhat stuck right now. Why even have Android when native apps need to be built first. New vendors need to be approached. Something different needs to happen.

That's my personal take. Not one that I think is applicable to all use cases and users.
