I was meant to ask a while back, would it be possible to have degraded
systemd for lower kernels? Quite a few current Android-like phones
will be stuck on 3.4 forever, e.g. those that are shipping SailfishOS
/ Ubuntu for Phones / etc. Thus support for 3.4 is desirable to be
maintained, because of the Android phones.

At the moment this essentially blocks converting all Ubuntu flavours to systemd.
