Plus to me that would make for better support, on a per-device basis. Have a tree for each device, an autobuild for each device, and then improvements and testing only go towards that device. A lot less to worry about breaking as well in respect to committing code (I would think).
The big problem is keeping everything consistent and easy to maintain the code. Breaking it into separate configs and autobuilds per device creates an administration nightmare.

I like the direction they are planning with .35 to refactor everything and truly keep device specific code in the baordfiles and try to keep it out of the main files. The closer to AOSP they can keep it, the easier their work becomes since Google's devs suddenly become the code maintainers.
