When you say "not backwards compatible" do you mean that the streams and functional interfaces aren't compatible with Java in Android N or do you mean that they're not being to be ported to previous versions of Android?

Maybe in general, Java 8 generated bytecode won't run on earlier JVMs, but a lot of shops are still on Java 6/7. (Allegedly.)

As I understood the article, it seems they're not being ported to previous versions of Android.
