We don't do it automatically. If there is a good reason to though as when
we upgraded from ICS to JB to get manta support, we will.

There are other issues as well, APIs change and it needs to be worth it

Yes and it also requires you to setup for adb root, that is one of the

There are blueprints or just talk still about:
