Yes, I agree. It benefits for long-term maintenance of LTP.
So maybe a good start is to be more strict in review new
patches especially on the includes header check.

Hmm, it's right, but I'm afraid we have to define that in many places
because include headers are sometimes dispersive or singly.

I.e.

We need to define the above hint duplicated for everywhere if includes
the <netinet/in.h>, to avoid include <linux/in.h> before it. This will
look a bit messy I feel.

$ git grep netinet/in.h
lapi/netinet_in.h:#include <netinet/in.h>
old/old_safe_net.h:#include <netinet/in.h>
safe_net_fn.h:#include <netinet/in.h>
tst_net.h:#include <netinet/in.h>
tst_safe_net.h:#include <netinet/in.h>
