Correct. It's outdated, and It should be updated. It's SCSI-2 definitions, but nowadays the newer SCSI-3 features should be put in it. In kernel 2.5, scsi headers were accelerated to clean up and to be updated by several scsi guys. I don't know why glibc should have scsi/ headers. It's linux kernel related things (like sg.h). It's also net/ and so on. Who do you know about this kind of issues? I'll investigate it and try to update for whether glibc or linux-kernel-headers.
