So, what does your social experiment yield, obviously some people do
care? Will kernel-source(code) return to remain until we find a true
solution [*]?

[*] like a kernel-headers subpackage soving headers into
    /usr/src/kernel-headers/2.6.7-1.499-i686/ and having
    /lib/modules/2.6.7-1.499/build be a symlink to there?
    kernel module builders are happy because they can build against
    cold kernels (and a simple BuildRequires: kernel-headers will be
    enough!), users will still have the symlink.

    Even if this or a similar solution will be sanctionized as the
    best idea since qubically sliced bread, kernel-source(code) is
    needed for a migration phase, so please put it back!
