Well at least now, the mod is going to be more compatible with the apps in the Play market.
I can't remember ever having compatibility issues with Cyanogen, after all its very close to AOSP.
Which begs the question.

Whats the point in a commercial version of CM?
I don't deal much in the Android realm, but isn't the point of CM to put a close-to-stock version of Android on devices that are saddled with bloatware and other crap by their manufacturers? Those manufacturers don't necessarily make everything available to the public (e.g. device drivers), so things have to be put together. In some cases, some features never really end up working all that well. Maybe a commercial version will help alleviate that?
What exactly is the "spirit of android"? A way for google to make money? Because that's pretty much how it turned out. In which case, good luck to anyone else who manages to do it.

Google makes nada from a phone with a base CM install in case you wondered.

Wrong. Unless these phones don't have Google Maps, GMail, Google Search as default search engine, etc, then Google makes money.

Usually it removes any and all features that sets that device apart from the competition anyway, so I stopped bothering. Maybe if they manage to get in good with the phone makers to keep that stuff functional it'll be for the better, but if they just need money to stay the current course I'll be disappointed.
What is the percentage/ratio of people that are running a "base" CM install over those that aren't?Google makes nada from a phone with a base CM install in case you wondered.
