Hi All,
as for educational purpose I think
I would be good to use an original
kernel and then apply the header script.
This shows that there is some magic
around that stuff.
Releasing "only" a package is only
useful for advanced users I think.

Surly thats back to front, building your own headers would be for
advanced users who know and understand what they are doing - while a
stock version for users getting to grips with the LFS project.
This however highlights my point of support - with the availability of
the headers script will come
a.) users wanting to use their own headers because "its cool to use the
latest headers" with no understanding of what they are doing
b.) multiple platforms to support - eg system built from 2.6.15 2.6.16
and 2.6.17-rc2 headers - then couple that with users deviating from the
book's package versions, well, it will just become unsupportable and not
help LFS's reputation as a usable stable platform
c.) people who contribute to LFS will be able to build headers earlier
header versions and test earlier against packages for future release.
With this in mind I feel it important to
a.) Decide on a direction with the headers sooner rather than later
b.) decide how to use this header work productivly and for the good of
the project overall, not just inotify ;o)
