Was this done to reduce the kernel package size? It's a little confusing to have kernel26-headers and kernel-headers.
People have been confused by "kernel-headers" anyway, so there is no harm. The point is to 1) Make the PKGBUILD more readable (everything except the "header-installation" is simple, and that is now in a separate function) 2) Remove confusion about many people thinking there was a kernel source in /usr/src/linux-foo 3) Do not install a bunch of useless headers with the kernel. 4) Because we can.
