They should only be selling phones as stock Android if the carriers are unwilling to manage changes whenever a security update or new version of the Android OS is available.

Aside from L. Ron Hubbard being cuckoo for Coca Puffs, he had a similar idea for dissolving circuits in his novel Battlefield Earth. He wrote some great Science Fiction, however I do not endorse Scientology, Dianetics or any of his other cult ideologies.
