An honest question. Do you know how software development works? It's a different kind of effort and resources to prepare an upgrade for a device than just fix a bug. For older devices it may not be financially acceptable for a manufacturer to do. You have to check everything even if just to find out everything is okay. If you fix a bug, you have to fix it in all (supported) versions. It can be very different in each version as it is now for 4.3. They clearly do not have a mechanism to deliver it as easily as they have in 4.4. Saying get a new version does not work for all. Google as a software provider has a certain responsibility. If there is more than half of users hit by a certain problem, any reasonable software house will bring out a fix. Google does not have an easy way to deliver the fix, which is their fault, too, by the way, but they should not abandon their users.
On a separate note - for the love of mike, please use paragraphs.

Comedy after explaining in detail why you are incorrect, your comeback is do you know how software development works? Yes I do, and happy to discuss the relative merits of the promotion mechanism used to distribute code or the effort needed to backport code which cannot be distributed?
