Can Vanilla Android (Nougat) be installed on the Huawei Honor 8?

[AC Question]

The price is very tempting, but I'd rather be able to use vanilla Android -- updated to Nougat if possible on it. Obviously Google won't release factory images for it but if I I'm stuck using their interface it may be a deal breaker for me and I'll just continue to wait until the HTC/Google official Nexus device is released.

Just wait for the Nexus - if you're looking for stock android, it doesn't get better than a Nexus.
