    But…but… Isn’t AOSP open source? Did someone lie to me? Just restore the functions! Right? Am I right?

    Or was Google just exploiting people believing that they were participating to an open source project?

    This news serves as perhaps further evidence of AOSP’s reduced significance, as Google seeks to tie more and more previously open-source features behind its own proprietary frameworks and services.

    Surprise motherfuckers! \o/
