Nope.  The manufacturer pushes the updates out.  Kit Kat is developed and goes from Google to the phone manufacturer who works with the carrier to make sure carrier specific apps and customization are included and work correctly > any many changes/problems go back to Google for review> then back to manufacturer to push out according to the Carrier's plan.   Google may develop it, but the manufacturer and the carrier all have a say in the roll out of the new OS.
