>The kernel running on Android devices is heavily modified such that it cannot be maintained by the community
Android works on the mainline Linux kernel. If the community can already handle maintaining the mainline kernel I don't think the 210 long series of patches that the Android common kernel includes would break the camel's back. Throwing out all of the value of Android over this is throwing baby out with the bath water.
Since Android has multiwindow support it would be reasonable for someone to implement a tiling window manager for it.
