No it doesn't.

It runs fine. No crippling.

If you are silly enough to run a eight-year-old distribution, and then
upgrade just the kernel, you'll run a bit slower. So what?

We care about it *working*. We don't care about optimal performance of
an old distribution. People can upgrade if they want.
