Folk, I really don't see a need to go into flamewars here. You won't reach any conclusion in uptime wars and/or in must/non-need-to support of old hardware. There are perfectly stable 3.x machines out there and *there* are enough hints that kernel instability raised somewhere between 3.1 and 3.4 for some and only some machines and that those are fixed in 4.0. As things stand now, there will be a 3.5 release with lowered public visibilty so that no new users jump on it and those who want 3.x can get it. If neccessary, a privately-burned CD can be shipped to them. So far I didn't see anything that isn't compatible with this way to proceed.
