The point is that, according to the 4.1 release notes, we should no
longer use "Renderscript Graphics":

https://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-4.1.html#Renderscript

"Note: The experimental Renderscript graphics engine is now deprecated".

The concerns are:

1. Why were we not told that this was "experimental" at the time
Renderscript Graphics was announced? I see no evidence on the Web that
Renderscript Graphics was described as "experimental".

2. If half a subsystem is now deprecated, why is that announcement
buried in release notes, rather than being called out a bit more
visibly?

At the end of the day, Google can do whatever it wants to. Personally,
I am just trying to figure out where the communications breakdowns
occurred.

Thanks!
