I don’t use the Play store (don’t want a Google account) and prefer to stay away Github because Microsoft. Thanks.

    Thanks, it’s hard to tell how many users are still on Android 7 but it seems to be fewer than I had expected. Still, if supporting the old versions isn’t difficult, I hope that upstream will accept it. Meanwhile I will try to be a little more open to getting another phone.

      Numbers reported by Google as of May 30 2023… 92.4% have 8.0 or later. 3% have Android 7, 4% have Android 5 and 6, 0.5% still run less than 5.0.

        That is pretty frightening. Lots of perfectly good phones must have gone in the trash. Maybe I will look for a used Pixel 4A.
