He's said one big reason why its not in there already is there is only one overworked dev in charge of that aspect.  We want to convene a very small group of people to discuss what needs to happen and how, then we can make a work plan and also help make an internal Google proposal to try to get an internal resource assigned to it.  We can also contribute patches to ensure this happens sooner rather than later.

Will do. Have you ever talked with Google higher-ups about this, or have an idea why they might want to keep adhoc out of Android?
