What do you mean by Vic Gundotra and Andy Rubin are alienating users? This is the first I'm hearing about it, do you mind elaborating or at least providing a source?
Vic's "Real Names" (TM) policy was bad enough, despite the massive internal feedback he received asking for pseudonymous support.
Andy has embarrassed himself several times by restricting access to the Android code while, at the same time, claiming that Android was open. Granted most users don't care about the source code but it's a punch in the face for all the OSS enthusiasts who believed in Android's open model.
And Android still developed behind closed doors for no good reason. Not only that but the team is siloed from other parts of Google, like some sort of exclusive club.
