I don't see what's so bad about /usr/src/linux-[version] . It has
treated me well in the past. Or am I failing to understand what jhalfs
does with the kernel source.

1. Rogue packages that go looking for /usr/src/linux-$(uname -r) to
try to include the kernel headers.

2. The possibility that people will infer "linux source in /usr/src" =
"use kernel headers in /usr/src/linux-*". We're so close to having
upstream supported sanitized headers, I would hate to prolong this
horrible myth in any way. This one is not as big a deal as 1., but I
feel it's important for xLFS since one of the goals is education. Like
I said in my other response, most of the people that read this post
already know this, but I'm thinking more about a build-from-source
noob.

Just my opinion. I'm not interested in making this some kind of
political divide (we have enough of those).
