Oh! so I guess the plan didn't exactly work out as expected :/

So I guess if something as sizeable and impactful as Android can't reliably move the needle towards 7 to 10 years of maintained stability then the only way forward is a few select ones providing forked stability and the remainder has to continually upgrade to keep being maintained.
