In theory yes. In practice no:

1) We can't assume they are non-standard devices. We just see crash
reports.
2) If you have a high average app rating, and suddenly start recieving
1-star ratings after an update, you have to respond.
3) If you have a free app that uses advertising, and suddenly your
daily app revenue goes down after an update, or users are
uninstalling, then you have to respond.

I think it is a Lint problem.

I usually call getWindow().requestFeature(...) first and then call
setContentView() to display the layout below the ActionBar / TitleBar.
setContentView() doesn't know anything about the ActionBar, as far as
I'm aware.

Many different devices. Examples: Acer Iconia tablet A500, Dell Streak
7, ARCHOS 70it2. Various Samsung devices: GT-P6800, GT-P6210, ...
