I remember dimly that Jessie's systemd requires some kernel feature which
may limit your choice of kernel versions.
Ah, found it: it's the kernel's configuration option CONFIG_FHANDLE. I don't
know off the bat which kernel versions support that, but might be 2.6.39-ish.
Of course, if you stay with SysV init, this doesn't concern you.
The answer would be "expect some tweaking if your value of 'older' is old
enough", especially if you go with the (default) systemd.
