i think you misunderstand what AOSP is. this code is currently in
AOSP master, and thus in internal master, and thus in a future
release.

Great, but as I understand it, vendors are under no obligation to
actually ship that code on their devices.

If a vendor needs to have an iw that, for example, supports their own
vendor commands (which, as I understand from the wifihal etc., Google
is basically forcing vendors to have!), then the AOSP iw is useless and
an own version needs to be built.

but given that our iw is your iw anyway... i don't understand the
situation in which they'd be inconvenienced here?
