It's also important to note that ending active
feature development and
maintenance for older versions of Android does not stop users from
continuing to use the app. As Stephen noted, users on 2.3 devices will
still be able to download the native app and use it as normal, including
Wikipedia Zero. It's just that they won't get the latest features.

Adam's numbers were about ratios among Android app pageviews. If you
are instead interested in the overall percentage of WP0 pageviews that
come from the app on those legacy Android devices, one needs to
consider that the Android app (on any device, new or old) only
generates 4.4% of WP0 pageviews anyway [4].
Per Adam [1], between 14.8% and 16.6% of them are on the legacy
devices. So that's much less than 1% of the Zero traffic that is
affected.
BTW, 95.4% of Zero pageviews are via mobile web [5], and just 0.2%
from the iOS app [6].

user_agent_map['os_family'] = 'Android',view_count,0))/SUM(view_count)
FROM wmf.pageview_hourly WHERE year = 2015 AND month = 8 AND day > 19
AND day < 27 AND zero_carrier IS NOT NULL;
[5] SELECT SUM(IF(access_method = 'mobile
web',view_count,0))/SUM(view_count) FROM wmf.pageview_hourly WHERE
year = 2015 AND month = 8 AND day > 19 AND day < 27 AND zero_carrier

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?
