I have nothing to do with this change, but it has been in place for at least 6 months, and maybe almost a year. If the kernel api doesn't change with a new version, there is no need to create new header files. I assume it was done to cut down on compile time, spec file complexity, and installation size and time (resource churn). Maybe someone else can clarify more authoritatively. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
