By going with this approach, you can't have hardware acceleration, or
lots of other things added to Android in the last 18 months (e.g.,
customizing the action bar for Honeycomb+).

If you have solid tests with solid code coverage, you will detect any
inappropriate API usage even if you compile with the newer SDK. If you
don't have such tests, you have much bigger problems than lacking
hardware acceleration.
