But keep in mind, that gettys might not get started any more by default and such issues. That's a pretty easy fix, but might be needed to make stuff work that otherwise works out-of-the-box. In some cases, it might just be simpler to backport the needed bits to older kernels. In general, people working on the code do not run or test systemd on older kernels, so you really need to know what you are doing and to fix eventual issues.
