"do not want to" is very different from "applications can not be ported
to newer kernels".

Please realize that the Linux kernel developers have spent the last
decade ensuring that you should be able to update to the latest kernel
version with no problems or changes needed in your applications.  Lots
of companies now realize this and have no problem updating to a newer
kernel, while running their old applications.

So please don't spread misinformation about how applications will break
with new kernel versions, that is almost always not a true statement.

thanks,
