Yes i know 3.38.0 was just an example i used. I was coming from the perspective of "Are we okay with disabling SystemTray for all versions <45 irrespective of whether SystemTray might work in some earlier version?". With latest comments in PR i see that we are okay with disabling for all <45 since it is a temporary urgent fix.
