I agree 100% for phones sold through the Google Play store. Offer security updates for 100% of their phones indefinitely. Stop the automatic feature updates when the phone becomes slow enough that the new Android version would be a downgrade, but still make it available to users who want to manually upgrade it. The fact that single individuals in their spare time have been doing ROMs for devices that achieve this for years proves that this isn't the maintenance burden it's sometimes made out to be. The device tree stuff means that even closed source modules aren't that bad to deal with these days.
