They already have one distributed through the Play Store. That's the proprietary bits. The Support libs are open source, they can work without the Play Store, and different apps can have different versions of it.

Yes, and they can ship a shared version of the open source libs (like the system webview). And as I specified, with one per API level (different versions). Maybe that would force them to have better QA of those libs as well.
