Bump versionCode by 20
In the past, I think we bumped the version code up 20 as part of the release process. The con was that we might have forgotten. The pro was that we didn't use an unpublished versionCode and it aligned neatly. That's what I was thinking we'd do again and perhaps conveyed in the email earlier. However, since we're bumping the minSdkVersion level to something unequivocally incompatible, perhaps it makes more sense to do a major[0] and micro bump at or around the same time. At any rate, that sounds fine or better to me now than I originally supposed.
Searching the board for "API 15," do we want to fix any of bugs prior to completing this task?
