To be perfectly honest on this end I see nothing that peaks excitement to have any real anticipation of what Oreo Cookie might offer compared to what I already use in an earlier Android. I can wait.
They've got a decade before they run out of letters but I am curious what their plan will be. Ubuntu will hit this problem much sooner. I haven't heard their plan yet either though I assume they must have one by now.
Project Treble will be nice. Of course, it will still take a lot of time before that changes anything in the android update ecosystem as users need to get Oreo first
