I think we have consensus now to start dropping support for Android
4.4 & 5.0, minimum is now 5.1. Reasoning and explanations are clear to
me, seem to be clear to others. I think we would go through the normal
process on GitHub, which we know to be a major breaking change.

I think ES6 is a legit concern. The only way I think we can use ES6
features and *guarantee* there will work for all users is if we use a
transpiler such as babel to convert es6 syntax to es3, or whatever the
minimum we believe to be safe.
So simply dropping 4.4 and 5.0 doesn't mean we can
+1 on setting the minimum to 5.1

My primary view for dropping 5.0 was also based off of low usage.
Obviously there will always be vulnerabilities. The CVE list showed a
dropped from 5.0.0 to 5.0.2 but an increase again in 5.1. This, of course,
will always be expected on minor and major releases.
It was also known that 5.0 has a

over to 5.1. So low usage was my primary reasoning for my +1.
