[arch-general] Linux-api-headers out of date (4.17 vs 5.0)

Hi all
It seems that allan@ has pushed some updates to bring the kernel up to
4.20, but they haven't yet showed up as a package.
https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/linux-api-headers

Is this an expected / known issue? Is there anything I can do to help? It
seems like they are lagging the rest of the kernel packages.

In any case, here is a patch which brings my headers up to date with my
currently installed kernel version.

I searched the forums and wiki, the only relevant piece of info I could
find was - do not raise a bug for an out of date package. If I'm in the
wrong place please let me know.

Thanks
Jason
