Android's "Treble" interface

The Android Developers Blog carries an announcement for an upcoming feature called "Treble", which looks like a separate, guaranteed stable interface for device drivers. "The core concept is to separate the vendor implementation - the device-specific, lower-level software written in large part by the silicon manufacturers - from the Android OS Framework. This is achieved by the introduction of a new vendor interface between the Android OS framework and the vendor implementation." Details are scarce, and there is no information on how this might fit into the part of the "Android OS framework" that many of us think of as "the Linux kernel".
