This is great news for android developers! Maybe one day google will be able to deprecate Gingerbread! It was released over 4 years ago yet every android app must support it since it represents about 20% of users since manufacturers continue to sell phones with it in 2014. Gingerbread is a real pain to support and bloats and slows all android applications by having to include a huge support library (~5MB).
