Android's source address selection was updated to RFC 6724 in early 2013

I think that went into 4.3.

And how many devices will thus actually receive such an update? 3%?

Oh, not too much off:

3% would only make sense if updates were not also incorporated into later releases. Those graphs suggest the uptake is significantly higher than just 3%. On the other hand, the pre-4.3 releases still account for a not-insignificant share.
