I can only answer with questions: How much effort is required to maintain our own set of headers? Is this a one guy, one hour a month kind of thing, or twelve guys for 9 days a week? I'm guessing about the same effort as one dedicated guy can spare, since that's what the current maintainer used to do. Could we support LLH by helping rather than ditching them? How would the maintainer respond to an offer? Do we know why the distros use modified 2.4 headers? I really don't like the idea of losing 2.6 ABI functionality.
