27<para>For years it has been common practice to use <quote>raw</quote> kernel
28headers (straight from a kernel tarball) in <filename
29class="directory">/usr/include</filename>, but over the
30last few years, the kernel developers have taken a strong stance that
31this should not be done. This gave birth to the linux-libc-headers
32project, which was designed to maintain an Application Programming
33Interface (API) stable version of the Linux headers.</para>
