I think capping at 3.10 is reasonable. Internally, we have been supporting 3.8+, but we got permission to support only 3.12 and above. Last time we nuked support for older kernels [1], we were supporting only 15 kernel versions (3.0 through 3.14). Now we are at 30 (3.0 through 4.10 -- sort of). If we make the cut at 3.10 we are at 20, which is still a lot more conservative than our last "nuke".
