"These update problems demonstrate once again how poorly the Android update system works."
We certainly don't know that this issue ties to the Android update system. It could entirely be that Sprint is once again using the system to push out a crap update. Bad code on Sprint's end.
That's not a problem with the system or even process, and it's misleading to imply that it is. That's entirely on Sprint.
Google provides a transport method for OEM's and carriers to pump their code to their phones. I don't believe that system is at issue, but this article/author definitely seems to be pointing the finger in that direction.
