My production tablet runs Android 4.4.2 Jellybean. It won't get an upgrade because the vendor isn't providing them for the model I have, but it does everything else I want and I largely don't care. (It's almost entirely used with locally stored data, and it online only to check for app updates from home, so the increased security in later Android versions is irrelevant.)

I do have a couple of apps that want at least Android 5.0 and won't run on it, but those are nice to have but not critical, and can be lived without.
