*Exactly who and why has decided to drop support for any Android API before 19?* Is that person aware that at least 8% of the Android devices out there will be rendered obsolete? Does he even know that Android 4.1 and 4.2 devices are still being manufactured, shipped and sold around the world as we speak?

The fact that Google drops support for a certain API at a given moment *does not* implicate that the millions of users with that devices will automatically become upgraded to a newer phone. Please slow down that deprecation policy tailored to a few developed countries only.
