This was mentioned twice in the article, but I probably should have made an even bigger deal of it: yes, the Android developers are making use of the mainline features as they become useful. The whole wakelock/suspend blocker fight has quietly come to an end, and nobody even noticed. It's great news, and a credit to both the Android and mainline camps, both of which have worked hard to reach this point.

Uptake by Android

That's great news. I felt the article was a bit ambiguous, saying the work has 'made it possible' for the Android developers to use the mainline feature - which can mean that this has happened, but can also mean just that it's 'possible'.
