Google shifting to “upstream first” Linux kernel approach for Android features

You've simultaneously demonstrated a misunderstanding of my comment, and - correct me if I'm wrong - answered my question.

My comment is not about specific vendors and their actions. My comment is only about wondering when, in your mind, is a valid time for people to complain; a philosophical question. That's why the question is broad - is it OK for people to complain about vendors who have yet to take action?

Your comment just now suggests that, yes, contrary to your post complaining about complainers, you likely think it's fine to complain to/about vendors who haven't taken action you'd like to see taken.

I'm not concerned with what's valid or fine or not, this is just if you want a chance to get your problem solved or if you want to waste your own time on a complaint that is to the wrong people. These out-of-context complaints/rants happen so often online that twitter even has a meme for it: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sir,_this_is_an_Arby's

Edit: Your logic in the last paragraph doesn't follow to me, as I was responding to a specific complaint. So that's another reason I can't really give an answer to the question.
