By the time something like this happens with Android - maybe in 10 to 15 years - the devices now in use have long been discarded.
My Sony PRS-T2 (Android 2.1) still works with all applications installed at the time.

If an update of an app comes out that no longer fits the installed Android version, the update will not be displayed.
