In the past, I've spent a fair bit of time criticizing Google for calling Android "open source", but not releasing the source. Now that it appears that they are actually doing it, let me be the first to say that this is great. Well done, Google.

This release doesn't change Google's strategy nor the fact that they will continue to release Android's source code in the future with a significant delay compared to early-access partners. There's no reason to congratulate them now nor complain louder some months from now, they'll continue to do what makes sense for them from a business standpoint. The only news are the yet-to-be-discovered jewels in the just-released source code.

Why is Chris DiBona's comment in this thread dead? What he said is "from the horse's mouth", i.e. Google Open Source.

Chris, you have http://dibona.com in your HN profile, but it just redirects.
He posted the same text in 2 comments (in two different threads). Probably the second of the 2 was a victim of an automatic dup detector/killer.

[dead] comment by cdibona: "Please don't sync yet, it's currently in a mixed state. The 'repo for-all git push' is still running and will take some time to complete, so if you sync now you'll get some parts with Gingerbread and some parts with ICS." (If you accidentally post something twice, be careful about deleting one. The other one may be automatically killed, but you don't see it when your posts are killed.)
It looks like it happened because he posted the same thing twice in different threads, not because he deleted it.
Stand by :-)
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Interesting. I wasn't aware that HN checks comments across threads. Makes sense.
