Hi Andrey, IIRC from when I reviewed this code the current implementation of `Headers` already uses `LinkedList` in other places - so this preserves the concrete list implementation class that `Headers` uses (see `Headers::add`). Not that it matters much - but if we wanted to replace `LinkedList` with `ArrayList` I believe we should do it consistently in this class - and probably outside of the realm of this JEP.
