While this all makes sense, please do not use Android < 8 unless
you really need it for a special purpose. An if so, please limit use to this

Google no longer provides security updates for these AOSP codebase branches, 
so you will be
vulnerable to the infamous Stagefright issue and the like.
We just had a ransomware infection on a terribly outdated Samsung device.
