yes, some headers are not installed now. so they need only to have their api marked __rte_internal and installed (since there should be no external consumer as a function of not being installed) the more difficult case is where headers were installed but the api were not marked __rte_internal and appear in the stable version.map. for those i guess deprecation notice has to be issued before marking as internal.
