A whole TWO developers, eh? For the OS at the foundation of the Android machine that lets their advertising network blanket the Earth and collect/market the personal data of billions of peop^H^H^H^H subjects.
Depends what they are working on. Maybe Google has some specific feature in mind and there is only enough work for 2 people, or they are the two experts doing the research/ground work and it may get added to later.
Also they probably need to ramp up slowly, so they can integrate with the Linux development process. Kernel maintainers don't really like big code dumps that make huge changes or add major features out of the blue, so throwing 100 developers at it right now likely wouldn't work.
They don't need to ramp up. Google has already been paying them to do this work, now they are just posting PR about it in the hope that we will love them.
But corporate pragmatism doesn't impress me, and Google is still working on replacing Linux in their mobile OS which will make it less useful to me, so fucking meh.
Jeez...nice set of priorities there (Score:3, Insightful)
