Andriod is Linux and its already in the Linux kernel
It seems the author of this article doesn't realise that Andriod is Linux and Google has already included Andriod tweaks back into the main line Linux sources. In fact the big difference between Andriod and a Linux distro is that Andriod has the Dalvik virtual machine that runs java Andriod apps whilst a Linux distro would use a desktop manager such as Gnome 3 and is less efficient in memory usage. Thus the kernel is only a small part of the software required to run an OS environment.
