I'm almost sure we have users who use util-linux on old kernels. For
example RHEL6 with 2.6.32 is pretty common and I have no problem to
compile util-linux there. And sometimes we also backport patches from
util-linux upstream to RHEL6 etc ;-)
It's fine to kill things for 2.2 (etc.) but for I'd like to be
friendly to 2.6 users (if possible).
