First off, Old versions (API 10 Gingerbread) will still be supported by newer applications. But with the changes that Material brings there are many features, most importantly animation, that cannot be supported below API 15. While this sounds like an issue, as there are 5 API levels that are unsupported, there is only an estimated 6 percent of all Android users still running on an API below 15, and that 6 percent primarily consists of users on Gingerbread API 10. If you are one of those users I am sorry that you will not be able to take full advantage of the newer improvements, but I digress that I must continue to push for the adoption of new and improved Android versions, and creating applications which tether towards those versions over older one is one way to accelerate the push for Android versioning standardization.
tl;dr No animations for 15 and below, sorry!
