I agree those things would be nice. But that's not the issue. The issue is if Android is open or not.
I personally think it would be nice if nothing shipped with the GPL as it restricts my freedom, but I won't claim gcc is not open.
The issue isn't if Android can improve along a given vector. Rather it is is Android a closed platform because there exists a branch that doesn't take public contributions or have a public tree. I don't think so.
