Where did you find a "minimal kernel version" posted anywhere? The requirement is "whatever we currently ship", since partial upgrades aren't supported.

There's also (currently) no support for ARM on this bug tracker...

ok. You can ignore this. https://www.archlinux.org/news/minimum-required-kernel-version-increased-1/

Not sure if serious or sarcastic...

The better is doing nothing I agree (sarcastic)

The oldest kernel in the repos is 4.4. If you're doing partial updates, that's unsupported. If you're using a kernel from the AUR, those packages are unsupported. Arch has no ARM support, that's in a separate distro, so there's nothing we can do about that.
