A common thing about the open source projects

Someone writes something, convinces everyone (who are not really listening) that this is fabulous stuff, then turns around and walks away to a real job (why not? with 'enhanced resume' now...)

Here's the proof: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2516 - a bug in Android TabHost that remains unfixed since 2009, for over 4 years.

In the best traditions of open source projects the bugged code is now 'deprecated'. Strictly, not yet. But Google does not recommend using TabHost anymore. Now it's clear why. Instead of fixing, they 'deprecate' which means no fixes and no new development going in.

GFYS, users of the existing applications with TabHos layouts. You are on your own.
