I don't think it is unreasonable to drop support for an OS that had its first release in July of 2012 (4.1 is almost 5 years old), especially considering the Cordova support policy for iOS.
Realistically, I think it's hard to justify support for before 4.4. Less than 10% of our customers are on 4.4 or earlier as a whole, and less than 10% of them actually use our apps regularly. Just for consideration however, what do we actually gain by dropping official support? Are there compat libraries or tests we can drop after this?
