In May, Google announced the expansion of the Nexus branding to multiple OEM partners simultaneously.
LG has recently shown off a Nexus phone, and one can expect more such announcements.
Nexus now resembles Microsoft's "Signature" branding for craplet-free PCs. All reasonably recent Nexus devices get upgrades directly from Google, much like iOS devices.
Also, not all OEM extensions are evil. Samsung's mobile device management extensions can be very useful in some use cases. If only we could get such extensions a la carte.
