This was always the plan. I've been building with all the 3.14 -rc
headers for ages .. and as we've talked about in the past, we always
will update them to the newest kernel in any release.

They are compatible with 3.10, and I've tested the combinations of
old kernels, new libc and new kernels with the new libc interfaces.

I disagree, this is consistent with other releases and the documented
plan of action. I'd rather not have a massive version jump in the fall.

Sure 3.14 slipping out by a few weeks upstream was a problem, but its
not like we haven't been testing with it.
