I think that's been true up until now, but Cyanogen has recently announce intentions to move away from dependence on Google.[0]

I cant help but think of Amazon's FireOS and that's not a good thing.

If you want an ecosystem completely controlled by only one company, there's always Apple.

If that means updates and security patches in a timely manner, and a roadmap for support for older devices, then that's good, surely???

And I say this running my XPeria S with Android 4.1.1 and my Motorola Xoom on 4.1, with my wife's Samsung S4 Mini running some 4.1 or 4.2 (and no notification light, it's stupid). Let's hope nobody finds out where my devices are on the Internet because they're likely full of security holes that will never ever be plugged.
