G1 to get donut/future upgrades after all?

While the interwebs and myself included hopped on the fear wagon just a few short days ago when hearing of the bleak outlook for future G1 updates, I felt a piece of me died inside. Ok…not really. But it was disturbing and saddening none the less. Many assumed that the dev community would pull through for us and bring future updates to our beloved first gen devices. If you were an assuming foe, pat yourself on the back. According to those who are now seasoned Android veterans, compression techniques and a few other coding tricks will allow G1 users to continue receiving updates for at least a few more iterations. Of course, the official statements from the Android team within Google is that the G1 is perfectly fine and will still receive updates. Anyone feel slightly better about their 1st gen purchase?
