I keep hearing musings of this, and though I'm a cynical curmudgeon who "will believe it when I see it", at least some part of me is excited at the possibility.
In the end it would make our custom ROMs much more stable, as what we're doing now is starting with an AKU 2.2 base (the latest available official Apache ROM) and bringing over files from other devices.
Having an official Apache AKU 3 will avoid a lot of the headaches that come from repurposing OS files from other devices.
So I join everyone else in keeping my fingers crossed... but...
"I'll believe it when I see it!"
