Android 4.0.4 now pushing out to the Android Open Source Project

[dgstorm]

Jean-Baptiste Queru of the Android Dev team just posted on his Google Groups blog that they are pushing out the 4.0.4 version of Ice Cream Sandwich to the AOSP. This is great news as it means our beloved devs can come up with even more new custom ROMS for our tweaking pleasure. Here's the quote from the Google Blog:

I'm in the process of pushing the Android 4.0.4 files (IMM76D) into
the Android Open-Source Project. This represents an incremental update
of a few hundred changes over 4.0.3.

This matches the update that has been sent to a few devices since yesterday.

As usual, the full source history is provided. Also, all changes are
merged into the master branch, from where it's possible to contribute
via https://android-review.googlesource.com/

The exact tagged version is android-4.0.4_r1.1

I expect that the push will be done by about 3pm PDT.

This opens the doors for the Android team to resume development of CTS
and of the developer tools directly in the Android Open-Source
Project.

The matching proprietary files will be available at
https://code.google.com/android/nexus/drivers.html by the end of day
(PDT). You should note that files related to CDMA devices (Nexus S 4G,
CDMA/LTE Xoom, CDMA/LTE Galaxy Nexus) have not been tested in the
context of AOSP. Of course, consumer support for those devices
continues unchanged.

I do not know the schedule for deployment to consumer devices,
especially in situations that involve additional per-operator
customizations done by the device manufacturers and/or in situations
that require operator approval prior to deployment.

This is great BUT... I got the nexus because it was supposed to be the first and most supported google device and it is still on 4.0.2! Where is the update for my device Google! I feel left out and screwed. I ROMed my droid and love ICS but even tho it is unlocked and rooted it is still stock to wait for the updates. I feel betrayed...
