I think the main concern was just space. So, looking at the bugs filed, the documentation takes ~86MB, ~36MB squashed. Most all of that is the cloudy package (a bunch of PDFs), octave (which includes the docs in *BOTH* PDF and HTML form for the main manual, and one seperate document in PDF, DVI, PS, HTML, Texinfo, and info form!), and wxPython (9MB of samples and demos). I suspect it's much simpler to weed out extraneous docs than to worry about splitting off random -doc packages inconsistently.
