Ok, those numbers might be significant for the WP0 program. Has WMF
Partnerships been consulted about this proposed change to app support for
legacy Android versions?

Following up...
For Wikipedia Zero tagged Wikipedia for Android access, looking at days
from August 20-26, it looks like about somewhere between 14.8% and 16.6% of
pageviews are on Android 2.3-4.0. [1]
Wikipedia Zero tagged Wikipedia for Android access constitutes about 5.3%
of the overall Wikipedia for Android app pageviews, based on a week of
pageviews from August 20-26.

Just to check: what percentage of Wikipedia Zero

The WMF Android App team will be ceasing active
support for older
devices soon, namely devices that run Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
or older. Our final legacy device release is expected in mid to late
September[0]. This release will remain available on the Google Play
Store for devices running Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) through 4.0 (Ice
Cream Sandwich). However, future releases will only target devices
running Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich MR1) and higher. [1]
* Why this is happening
Devices running Android versions older than 4.0.3 make up less than
8%[2] of the Wikipedia for Android install base, and supporting older
devices requires disproportionate developer time and effort. Focusing
our efforts on the most recent and widely used versions will allow us
to provide a faster, more stable, and more delightful Wikipedia
experience.
* What this means for older devices
Enjoy a stable and beautiful legacy release for as long as you wish.
When you're ready for a new device, a sleek and modern app awaits you.
* What this means for all other devices
Reap the benefits of a Wikipedia for Android experience built to take
advantage of the latest and greatest Android technology available.
-The Wikimedia Android team
[0] This will be the final planned legacy device release. Allowances
will be made to enable back support patches of critical issues.
