It depends how we define old :). In the context of the Vancouver discussion
I had said, selfishly from a KubeVirt perspective (admittedly a quite
different use case to Katacontainers), that we would be interested in a
thinner, more modular, solution than we have today but that we still have a
foreseeable need to run RHEL 6+ (so 2.6.32+GIANTDIFF as someone put it ;))
and W2K12+ on our current timelines.

So I think the reason older kernels were in the discussion was my fault,
but at the time it seemed like other folks were also interested in at least
some variations along that spectrum and this was roughly in line with what
Intel have been able to get working with their cut down qemu builds -
notwithstanding that additional issues may likely appear when it comes to
running any existing "real" workload VM with all its knobs on such a
platform.

Thanks,

Steve
