"no skins, no extra crapware, lag-free, and which gets at least two dot-oh upgrades - like 5.0 and 6.0"
Skins - probably agree
lag-free - certainly
mandatory upgrades - agreed
"crapware"... one man's crap, etc... but in some ways I wouldn't necessarily mind on these if they were just separate bundled apps that didn't interfere with vanilla operation. I've only ever owned a vanilla nexus, but have heard nothing but horror stories about pre-installed apps that could never be removed - eating up space and taking pride-of-place on the home screens.
I'm not against bundled apps, but but bundled apps that can't be deleted and which interfere with basic operation out of the box, yeah, I'm definitely against those.
