22 November 2016
Starting with Play Services 10.2.x (coming in early 2017), only Android 4.0.1 and later can come out and play.

                  So basically API 10 devices still able to visit Play Store right? It's just they won't get latest update of play service app.
                  They only said about stopping Play services support, but nothing about banning API 10 devices from Play Store.
                  There's still lot of apps that set minSdkVersion to API 10.

                      I remember my first Android phone, it was a Samsung Galaxy Y which had the Android 2.3 Gingerbread version. That's where I started my Android journey. RIP Gingerbread.
