No. Once the acquisition is fully approved and Google has the reins massive layoffs will come for (a much needed) housecleaning. At that stage Google will align the mobile strategy with whatever direction they think is the winner (I don't know if they know what this is yet).
Yet, note that Motorola != mobile phone, a huge part of Motorola Mobility does cable set to boxes and has a virtual monopoly on devices used by cable operators in their backends. (If it's clever) Google may use this as the launchpad for the upcoming TV war with Apple.

But what if the winning direction is tight integration with Android? They just took that option off the table.
