Fedora used to be on an ancient version of the headers, forked and manually sanitised from 2.4 some time ago and manually (but inconsistently) updated to date with new syscalls &c as and when bugs got filed against the package.
As of two days ago, Fedora is using the result of 'make headers_install' instead. Speaking as maintainer of Fedora's glibc-kernheaders, I think it's a massive improvement,
Other distributions look like they should be able to change too -- the whole point in approaching them before implementing this was to confirm that they'd be happy with it. I don't know _when_ that'll happen though. Obviously it makes sense for them to wait while I use Fedora rawhide as a test bed.
