Yup. I'm surprised it's that controversial. Come on: Linus widely said that Linux will never support STREAMS yet we have syscall numbers dedicated to that support in mainstream Linux.

If it's used in relatively large number of installations it deserves at least numbers reserved in mainline kernel.
