[android-developers] Are developers keen on using the latest Android 4.2 and stop supporting Android 4.0 and 4.1?

I had a bug that occured when Android 4.0 and Android 4.1 both tried to share a Bluetooth connection. I was denied support for those two versions and was asked for trying to test it on Android 4.2.

The main problem for me would be the lack of hardware available to use. I don't have Android 4.2, and I can't upgrade my devices to 4.2.

My manufacturer don't have Android 4.2 patches available for upgrade anyway, so it is hard for me to get Android 4.2 on my devices.

Here, I thought Android 4.X has support for all ICS versions, like how Microsoft supports their Windows products based on their shelf life. But it seems to me, that's not the case.

Do we still have product support for Android 4.0 and 4.1? Or developers are keen on getting the latest versions and drop support for older versions, starting from ICS?
