Not necessarily. We need to support the latest LTS, at the very least.

Support for oldest LTS is not a requirement if that comes with too old 
software. In this case, it's got GCC 4.8.2, so it's still acceptable.

There's other software that needs to be evaluated for compatibility, 
especially those that have changed sonames recently, like the MySQL client 
library and some udev libs.
