   "Google has confirmed to Android Authority that all Android development     work going forward will take place in Google's internal branch.     This is a shift from the way Google has worked on Android in the past,
    which featured frequent updates to the public AOSP branch.     Anyone can access AOSP, but the internal branches are only available
    to Google and companies with a Google Mobile Services (GMS) license,
    like Samsung, Motorola, and others."
The article is clear that the average user won't notice the changes.
But those of us who keep up to date will notice a lack of advanced notice.
And developers will also notice if they're using advanced features.
