I hope that Google changes its mind, but as a shareholder company, they aren't a community. So I don't hold out too much hope.
But what I do hope is that AOSP eventually forks from Google, and other Open source mobile OS's start growing their market share away from Google. Its time for these options to go mainstream. We need F-Droid to be there for this.
Eventually we need an OpenAPK standard to build around that is not reliant on Google.
