[android-developers] Froyo still breaks compatibility

You can no longer send the ACTION_ATTACH_DATA intent with an image URI
to a custom content provider without crashing the Gallery app.

This bug was reported more than a month ago.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8543 It is a stupid
bug that is super easy to fix, and as soon as Froyo was open sourced a
patch was submitted. Still Froyo was officially released and the bug
remains leaving developers who use this with an app that is no longer
compatible and no easy way to work around it for 2.2.

There are other bugs that also have not been acknowledged. This 'open'
thing is great but it is not of much use this way.
