I'm not a pro dev, but from what I see, the fragmentation won't be a concern for app devs much longer. I think Google will figure some way out on later releases of android.

Fragmentation is really about software upgrade. A SE phone with 1.6 loaded from factory has difficulties getting on 2.x because the UI is heavily modified. SE has to come up with entirely new code for the same UI taking 2.x android's advantages. If you forgo the custom UI completely, upgrade become easy. (ala Nexus one/s)
