> Is there something we can improve on the snapd side?
When we hit a similar problem last year in flatpak, I proposed to add an option to determine kernel requirements.

The flatpak creator pointed out that we should check rather for symbols/features, because some kernels may be highly modified, as it is in EL.

You can also perform some additional verification for runtimes and apps, to make sure that they won't require Linux > 3.2. Maybe CI that runs apps (and runtimes) on old kernels would help us to prevent problems like this in the future. This was originally proposed by Matthias Clasen from Fedora Silverblue.
Anyway, without additional checks, we can hit this problem again in the future (e.g. core20, core22, core24, etc).
