Well, that'll be a problem for anything that's got crossplay between XP and Linux in a local environment.
Could probably be patched back in if you really need it or want it. Linux is open source after all.
someone using xp probably won't mind using some outdated linux kernel as well
Much easier to get and install a copy of WinXP than old Linux.
Really? Just about every distro I know has an archive of past releases. With WinXP I wouldn't know where to begin.
Completely incorrect. You can find old Debian releases here:
https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/
That's the official Debian site and contains releases going back to 2002. You can surely find older versions if you really want with a bit of effort beyond 2 minutes of searching that it took me to find this.
Linux just removed the support so any Linux distro available currently should still support it
