I have not said this.

But the attitude of that all of a sudden we must care urgently about
some Android issue they have waited as long as possible to address
upstream... that stinks.

How come our opinions and ideas about how to approach solving this
problem were not of any value two years ago?  Why?

We've waited two years, surely Android folks can wait however long it
takes to discuss this design and alternative approaches.
