I think I have a better understanding of this email now.
I believe that the email is mainly pointed to consumers and not developers. If I understand correctly, Roku will no longer allow a consumer with a legacy device to launch any new channels to the device, update current channels on the device, or update firmware on the legacy device. As for developers, Roku will no longer provide support for trying to solve a channel issue on a legacy device?
So this would only concern developers if you're still trying to have your channel work on legacy devices, if you run into a problem with your channel on a legacy device, then Roku will not provide support. If your channel currently works on legacy devices, it will continue to work, but consumers with legacy devices can't update the channel or their device.
Maybe one of the Roku guys can confirm this? Thanks.
