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.

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?

On a separate note - for the love of mike, please use paragraphs.

Only I am not incorrect. They can deliver for 4.3, only it's not as straightforward, so they won't do it. But I have not time to go in circles with you. You have won.
