Will android-n-preview ever be merged into android-7.1.1?

[Igor Kalkov]

Hi,

I'm curious how your development / merge process looks like and whether we can expect a merge any soon.

Two examples of why I think such merge (or whatever) would be useful:

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/toybox/

* android-n-preview-5: Most commits are 6 month old and they already contain some fixes I'd be happy to have

* android-7.1.1_r13: Most commits are 11 month old

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Music/

* android-n-preview-5: Most commits are 11 month old, but the two latest commits are 7 month old and contain fixes for deprecated MODE_WORLD_READABLE / MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE modes

* android-7.1.1_r13: Latest commits are 7 month old, but no fix for the mode issue, leading to a crash in  the application 

Thanks!

+enh for toybox

I'm not personally sure, but I thought preview release branches focused mostly on GPL compliance.

the 7.1.1 branches should be what we have released, but aosp/master may have newer fixes.
