If you choose an old Soc vendor kernel, you effectively choose to use old
userland from the same era. Better do your business plan based on it:
"we won't upgrade userspace except for backported critical fixes and
features we REALLY need"
And it probably not that bad deal anyways. Instead wondering how to
adapt your existing working code to new userland (say initscripts to
systemd), your engineers can spend time working on something that
actually matters to your customers.
