Hopefully development can continue without Facebook providing input that starts making them essential like Google did with Android. So Facebook can be ignored and just be free to use the tools, but left to be on its own from those that don't want to deal with them.

Google is already doing shitty work to android though: they're removing some basic apps (dialer and contacts) from the open-sourced part of it.
