Fair. I'm assuming the patches to update includes covers a wider set than changing the headers themselves.

Though, really, I was just saying why it may not be as bad as it sounds. Can still be bad, of course.

> - As to maintenance overhead: it was surprisingly low overhead to keep dependencies at a minimum across upstream kernel releases - there were tyically just around ~5 dependency additions that need to be addressed. This makes me hopeful that an optimal 'fast' state of header dependencies can be maintained going forward - once the initial set of fixes are in of course.
