I think you don't really realize how big companies work. They will be
using such version in 3 or 5 years maybe.
We have people still using RHEL5, even though it's almost 10 years old,
and its support going to stop next year. Supporting old distributions
is important for Buildroot, so you can't just sweep away the problem by
pretending that it doesn't exist with modern distributions.
Best regards,
Thomas
