It is called reality! You and Lloyd may want to do some fact checks before

No support in the quote for a "heavily modified [Linux] kernel" noted!

Again, no support in the quote for a "heavily modified [Linux] kernel" 
noted!

Android's Linux and main tree Linux principal differences were mainly 
wakelock, earlysuspend, Android security model, another frame buffer and 
drivers. None of these involved heavy modifications to Linux. All these were 
additions to Linux that did not replace, remove or significantly change any 
of the existing code. They introduced some duplication with existing 
features and that was one of the problem raised by the Linux maintainers.

Several of the Android features were applied to Linux but due to poor 
maintenance/interest from Google were later removed. If Linux was "heavily 
modified" by these patches then it would be very unlikely that the patches 
would have been merged in the first place and later removed.
