I believe the issue is not that they would not like to support the 
existing phones, but the move to snaps will require a newer kernel, and 
the hardware enablement stack available for the older hardware may not 
meet the requirement, and so it may be impossible.... exactly whether it 
will be possible or not, may not even be known.
