That's what I'm saying :) An (extremely) gradual phase-out of the Android API.

I'm not sure the API can ever really be phased out due to the vast amount of legacy apps and libraries.

Besides I'm sure a lot of developers wouldn't be happy that their domain knowledge just went flying through the window. Even if that is a risk inherent in the job.

Extremely, extremely? :) Apple kept Carbon apps running on OS X for a very long time.
