I know that I am very disappointed to learn that the Android team's quality control process is so lacking that it permits issues like this to reach production:

I just think that at this point it appears that Android, the OS and the toolchain, have grown too complex for Google's teams to handle.
Google, and the Android team, are rapidly falling behind on quality in both the development tools and the OS releases, even for flagship devices like the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10.
This issue above is only one of a dozen fatal flaws in the Android OS and recent releases of the ADT have exhibited similar lapses in discipline.
I would speculate that this could represent a chance for someone seeking to take marketshare from Google with developers to capitalize on Google's current weak position.
