I don't see why it's crucial. Certainly emacs-module.h will differ for different Emacs versions, and people will deal with any mismatches as usual. And developers do not expect /usr/include/stdio.h to be the same on all platforms; why would they expect /usr/include/emacs-module.h to be the same? After all, modules themselves will not be portable among platforms, even if the module's sources and include files are byte-for-byte identical.
