Greg Kroah-Hartman, the Novell developer who maintains the staging, USB and driver core for Linux, has announced that the driver code for Google’s Android operating system has been removed from the 2.6.33 Linux code base. Kroah-Hartman says that “I love the Android phone platform” but that the code for supporting Android has not been cared for, and as is his policy, uncared-for code is removed from the source code control system. The change was committed to the Linux source tree on December 11th, last year.

This is one reason that the Linux kernel source is smaller. I agree with this action being taken. It should be that a kernel and the kernel source is kept managed and maintained.
