I think the correct thing would be to jump to 4.0, because most users use versions higher than 8
every phone has maturity just like what apple company does , they are outdating the older models to give way for the new one that has more secured and quality gadget.

Hardly any device may run on such outdated softwares but thanks for the warning, it may save the old people who are using Android old version can have enough time to update or move to another device so their contacts and other stuffs won't get deleted.

Well, I think there are only a very few number of people that still has that version of Android for their smartphones.
