And user space should gradually be fixed from using them. In almost
every case there are more appropriate headers to use. Basically
keeping the /usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm directories is a
crutch to allow a slow user space transition.

Actually by now most applications have been fixed and do not use
them. The policy has been in place for several years now.
