Rumor Mill: Google to thwart Android fragmentation.

"According to the [Engadget] blog, Google plans to address the [fragmentation] problem in two ways. First, the company will make Android's core applications and components available to consumers for download and upgrade through the Android Market application storefront. This will be phased in over the next two Android software upgrades. Second, Google plans to slow down the pace of its software development for Android in general, allowing the platform to mature."
