I'm afraid HC is due to be orphaned, Google made a strategic blunder by not anticipating the tablet revolution and designed Android 1.X and 2.X with smaller screens in mind. Then they exacerbated it by diverging to two separate versions to accommodate the two different form factors, which could only eventually end up as two very different OS's.
Someone at Google understood this, and wisely headed it off by re-converging the two in the form of ICS. So now both HC and 2.X are headed for the scrap heap, and will only remain as legacy systems.
RIP Gingerbread and Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich is the perfect fusion for mid sized devices; designed for both large and small screens, it fits perfectly in the middle.
