Make SailfishOS 2.0 a first class Android citizen

As it says on the tin my request is to make Sailfish OS 2.0 a first class Android citizen, all with (optional) Google Play store and the other "default" Google apps. I think those apps offer a lot of very useful functionality (let alone access to one of the largest app stores in existence). Having the option to (officially) run these on Sailfish would not only work around current shortcomings of the Jolla store but also make Sailfish more interesting for a much wider community of phone/tablet users.

Caveat: I don't really know whether this is even possible since I don't know Google's certification requirements for Google Play devices. I really hope it is possible, though.
