This is in Android Marshmallow (6.0). Unfortunately, it will take a couple of years before the majority of Android users has this :/.

  Definitely, considering there are still 2.x devices out there. I have Android 4 on Samsung and on Motorolla, both of them really not that old (released on 07/2013 and 05/2014 respectively). And no sign of an update... However, I was forced to update my Nexus 7 to 5.x, and the device became absolutely unusable. So I wonder whether I want the upgrades if even Google can't handle them properly.

    How were you forced to update your Nexus 7? I have a Nexus 7 and every update it's ever received had to be approved by my clicking on the button saying I wanted to update. Can you not do a system restore to get it back to its original version when you purchased it? I know it's pointless to say that my Nexus 7 runs Android 5 just fine though, just to counter your comment about Google not handling updates properly.

      There was a permanent notification that I could not get rid off. I consider that forcing an upgrade. It was the 2012 version of Nexus 7 and while not everyone had these issues, it was a pretty common problem and I consider it a huge failure on Google's part. As far as a I know, there is no way to downgrade without rooting the phone. Some people reported that factory reset helped with the performance. I haven't used it for several months and then installed CM - not as fast as the 4.x was, but somewhat usable.

        Ah, you were annoyed into updating. I understand your point now.
