LF needs to employ more engineers. With more and more consumer focused companies joining the LF it should help fix the still remaining gaps in Linux' consumer facing software. Start with bringing Android in line with mainline and then work your way up the stack, as even more engineers join.
What good is all that money otherwise?

Android needs not only to be brought into mainline but be a real community project, otherwise the myriad little details that suck and that no Google employee is paid to fix, will just continue to suck and suck and suck forever, as we have seen. So far, the only saving grace for Android is that Apple sucks worse, which is not high praise.
