I've upvoted this not because I agree with all the points, and not because I understand all of the issues, but because I think this is a potentially important discussion for knowledgeable people to have out in the open.

disappointing. Yes a discussion would be helpful. Maybe people feel that this title is too offensive against Android. But it's from the author itself :(

I'm really interested in hearing more of what people have to say about this.
It seems I often hear/read the general thought on security is that you should use open systems (ie: Cyanogenmod w/o GApps + Debian), but the author makes a good point that without Cyanogenmod on a device that is well supported, Android is going to be missing security updates.
I hope that happens here.
Edit: Nope - discussion won't happen. It's been flagged: http://hnrankings.info/9968214/
