How to stop a webview Android?

Should developers stop supporting Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) and below?

• Considering that Android 2.3 is over 3 years old and though it constitutes 40+% of active devices, about 75% of installs come from Android 4.0+. In addition, developing for gingerbread includes a lot of extra work when compared to Android 4.0+ due to the need for several compatibility libraries to provide a consistent interface and performance. In addition, a large number of users on gingerbread are due for an upgrade or are not power users (use phones mainly for calls and texting). Hence, is it really worth all the effort to go through the whole routine of providing compatibility with gingerbread with the minimal gain (~20%) that can come out of it? Edit: By developers, I mean relatively small organizations who don't have millions of dollars at their disposal. If one had money, then it's just a matter of hiring more developers.

  That is my point as well, there are only 2 types of people who are using GB, 1, their phone can be updated but they didn't for some silly reason, we don't need to support those people, also the other type of people is they only have a low-end phone and can't run 4.0 at all, so there is no point of supporting then, as their phone is not even powerful enough to run the complete Android OS......
