After six betas, there isn’t much we don’t know about the next version of Android, but there was still one burning question: What dessert starts with the letter Q?
As it turns out, there aren’t any good ones. Android Quik? Android Quesito? These would have been ridiculous. But now it’s all moot, as-Google has dumped its sweet treat naming scheme altogether (https://www.blog.google/products/android/evolving-android-brand/), falling back on numbers as identifiers. This year’s release will be Android 10 (https://www.pcworld.com/article/3366256/android-q-changes.html). That’s it.

Rather, it’s saying that this development was a long time coming, as the rest of the world was sometimes confused with U.S.-centric branding.
