I have to agree with Toshio here - it would be a bad move to be
banning sub-packaged docs. In the case of root I can say that the root
docs sub-package is very useful.

The problem here really isn't the documentation sub-package size
itself, but rather what it does to the size of filelists.xml.gz. And
the size of filelists.xml.gz seems to come up periodically, so I
wonder if it's worth asking what can be done about that, if anything.
Do documentation files really need to be included in file level
dependency generation/resolution?
