I meant a different type of "sunset", something like, google have 
rolled-out the new contacts API in android 17, but by e.g. Android 19 
they'll be removing the old API that lets apps scoff all your contacts.

This gives the WhatsApps of this world a reason to switch to the new API 
if they want their app to keep working on the newest phone models.
