 It's not at all clear to me why developers@ is cc'ed on these messages, 
 but since we are ...
 
 Alex,
 
 Can you please explain why the change Garrett is suggesting will break 
 anything? According to his PR all the headers that smartmontools needs 
 are included in /usr/include. Is that not the case?
 
 What you've been told (that we prefer not to have userland tools include 
 /usr/src directly) is accurate, so the burden of proof is on you to 
 explain why it's necessary in this case. The fact that other ports may 
 or may not do this is not relevant here.
 
 
 hth,
 
 Doug
