So we should drop packages used by high % of fedora users for the doc
for tetex or exim which are used by a very small % users, and which are
also available online?
And we should be held hostage in the future by any project that decides
that bundling there docs (no matter how big) with the program is a good
idea.
I would also like to point out, the exim docs are a good example of
general space waste on docs packages, it contains html, pdf, ps, and
texinfo docs so the same content 4 times (so im guessing just with some
new configure flags could take 1/4 the space).
