36 <para os="a">For years it has been common practice to use <quote>raw</quote>
37 kernel headers (straight from a kernel tarball) in <filename
38 class="directory">/usr/include</filename>, but over the last few
39 years, the kernel developers have taken a strong stance that this
40 should not be done. This gave birth to the Linux-LLH-Headers Project,
41 which was designed to maintain an API stable version of the Linux
42 headers. But recently this project stopped producing updates. Cross-LFS
43 decided to come up with our own santized headers and placed them in
44 the book.</para>
