Hi to all.

Let me ask a basic question. Might be due to some misunderstanding of the
messages I have been reading.

It seems UT is getting benefit from Android drivers. I guess to reduce the
development cost and time.

If so, I assume it means that UT will somehow depend on Android? At least
some functionalities? Unfortunately, like Aethercast.

I'm not a businessman and I understand that somebody decided this direction
as the best (or the only feasible?). But, isn't risky that advanced
functionalities depend on a competitor system?

Would it mean that the development schedule depends in Android's
development?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.
Marcos
