Which is a fraction of a fraction of Android users.

I'm all for de Googling if that's what tickles your fancy, but ask anyone on the street and they'll have no idea what you're talking about

Edit: This also allows Google to push some of these features to older devices which may not ever see another system update

In that blog post, google does not commit to open sourcing these play services features, to integrate in future system upgrade.

I would love to be proven wrong.
