The kernel version during build is not an issue. Kernel headers are never included in userspace applications during build (except for horribly broken applications). In fact, at least on Arch, the kernel headers are not even installed during the build process. What this is about is the kernel's userspace API headers which are extracted from the kernel source and then used to build the C library. Upgrading the kernel will not change those. You only change those headers when you update or rebuild your toolchain. On Arch, we currently use headers from 3.13 by the way. Basically, what you are saying is that you want to drop support for building systemd with a toolchain generated from anything older than 3.10 or 3.12. Personally, I wouldn't care, but others might disagree.
