Another alternative would be to keep releasing security updates. If open source projects can manage more than three years support, it's not out of the question for Google to do it, at least for the major versions.

- kartickv 10y agoYou mean issue security updates for multiple major versions, like Marshmallow, Lollipop and KitKat? That's an overhead to code, backport and test. These resources could be spent elsewhere.
