The proposal says

    The submodule system is widely used, specially within the android
    platform.

which puzzles me somewhat. The Android platform uses the Repo tool
to help out with multiple gits in the same source tree, and Repo
currently isn't based on submodules. Work is however ongoing to
switch Repo into using submodules instead (which would make the
whole tool rather redundant). Are you thinking of that work, or
is there a misunderstanding somewhere?
