CentOS - Feb 2020 - Kernel downgrade on Centos 8

Dear team
     Is it possible of downgrade the kernel in Centos 8 to any kernel from
Centos 7 (or even latest kernel from Censto 7 Series) ?
Has this been disabled intensionally  or it will not work all together

Thanks and regards
Akshar

No, CentOS-8 uses different shared libraries and a different version of
the compiler than CentOS-7, so you can not run items compiled for
CentOS-7 on CentOS-8.

The kernel does not rely on userspace libraries.
