Oh yeah I understand, but the trouble is it's not a totally unreasonable argument from their point of view. They are been asked to essentially put their seal of approval on something they have no real control over.

Perhaps the solution is to have some sort of agreement where any compromises that result from third-party ROMs, are not Google's responsibility and are they should be legally protected. I'm sure that the lawyers are the main reason for this position by Google.

the thing is, even if they did cause issues, the seal means nothing, Google is going to deny all liability anyway. This is just Google being petty and blocking third party's imo
