    Yep

    It is a tough decision…. On one hand you screw older devices; relegated them to second tier status and leave them abandoned and at risk

    On the other hand you have a more consistent install base and better support and the ability to drop older systems and their bugs.

    Someone gets screwed either way

      Yeah, but not the same amount or scope of “someone”, though.

      You’re saying you either make several hundred million devices into ewaste overnight versus “had to wait for a bit for the latest update to propagate”.

      Not the same scale of problem right there.
