With the GPU of the Pi now at our bidding, we should be able to port Android/Replicant to the device, with no problem. Big userbase, and no one else seems to have picked up the gauntlet just yet.

The big problem with the Raspberry Pi has never been that the system-side graphics acceleration software was non-free. The real issue with it is that it has a very bad hardware architecture in which the videocore chip brings up the CPU and does that requiring many proprietary blobs to be installed on the sdcard. That's still a no-go for Replicant and freedom in general, sorry.
