Does this mean that when Kodi 17 is released all the official Kodi addons will require Kodi 17

Thanks . So what happens when addon dependencies switch to Krypton's Python version? I like 16 and want to wait before making the jump . If I am forced to as a result , I will.

I have two neo boxes and a neomax box Those boxes along with the the other 1st generation Google TVS were abandoned even though the processor combany updated the code for a newer os.. Nice thing about the android box like the g box I have is that if the manufacture stopped upgrading the android I can install a new os.
Tablet and phones have a short shelf life with manufacture support as it is. .
Lollipop is no longer supported by Android. and marshamllows lifespan has been cut short by an early release of Nougat.
Personally I want Kodi devs working with the latest SDK when revising their product. Id imagine that Kodi 18 will use the Nougat format. for platform code.
I don't want my power usage dictated by Dalvik when it can be done under Android Run time fare more efficiently and I know guys like Koying are probably chomping at the bit to to be able to utilize thing like Picture in picture without having to invest time coding a workaround cause the Prior OS platform doesn't have it built in already and I'm sure the kodi team will love being able to use Vulkan fior Kodi 18 without having to figure out a workaround for Android that they have to deal with when supporting windows and Linux.
The Devs don't set an api min to be mean and they are doing you a favor. I don't want my stuff running like crap because ig got software designed to operate at thresholds my OS has noway to handle.
back to my neoboxes.. they still have a working hulu and Netflix. on their hybrid honeycomb OS. but one day Netflix and Hulu will change their CDN to a point they wont work anymore. and even then ill still be able to use them as mirrors for DLNA content.
so it isn't like I didn't get my money's worth
