Yes.

The reasons already stated, those resources could be better used doing
other things.  Aside of that, of the devs/users how many people
actually _need_ to remain on an old kernel.  I could be wrong in my
assumption that most people using old kernels are doing so simply by
choice and not necessity.  You want to maximize developer productivity
and if that means some people will need to update their kernel, is
that so horrible?
