Probably never. The desired granularity is really site-specific, and
there's nothing about the 3.0 kernel that broke backwards compatibility
with code that was working under 2.6.
The kernel version is really the wrong thing to drive @sys values from
anyway. If anything, you want the glibc version, or some combination of
facts that compose an ABI (which is more about glibc than about the
kernel).
