Isn't it against Arch philosophy to split packages it binary and header

First the headers from the kernel package was even a reduced amount and if you look in the PKGBUILD only for the cases if you build some packages for yourself.

I agree with Hussam here.

If Arch wants to be (disk)size-effective, We would end up with hundreds
of Debian-like *-{header,dev} packages.

We're not going to do that, it just seemed insane to include this stuff in the kernel.

I just don't think splitting header packages is practical with distributions

that support a port-like system. I know the kernel might be an exception but I still think the decision to split the headers is interesting and worth

The kernel IS an exception here, we will not start splitting out -dev stuff everywhere. It is mostly done for making the PKGBUILD more readable.
