Ask HN: Any Android Engineers Here?

Is there anyone here who works on android at google? What's it like? I'm curious about the new dev verification requirements: https://developer.android.com/developer-verification/guides

Can you give a rundown on how those rules came about? What do the other developers think about the rules and the future of android?

Also, why did you switch away from the alphabetical naming conventions for the android versions?

I'm posting this because I haven't heard anything about this from anyone who actually works on android. Figure this would be a good place to post.
