Well for all the speculation/comments about how wayward Harmison might be the fact is that he has taken wickets.

For me if he does play in Sri Lanka, it won't be as a stock bowler, but in short aggressive bursts (which is why he was so ineffective against the West Indies when he was forced into the stock bowler role). As long as he bowls aggressively, gets the batsmen hoping about and takes wickets (even if those wickets are for the guy at the other end) I don't care how many runs he gives away.
