How is a reorg at Google any kind of news ?

Last I spoke to folks working there, these seem to happen every y-ending day.

A reorg at this scale?

It doesn't even happen annually.

A reorg of two teams of 10 people? Sure. Google is a ~180k person company.

There's also a buried lede:

Hiroshi, who's been an Android lead since before it shipped, is no longer leading Android.

When Jony Ive and Scott Forstall and the other big Apple execs left, that was news. Hiroshi may not have Jony's profile, but it's still a major change in how Android is governed.

Even small changes by a $2 trillion company with billions of daily users are a big deal.
