I think I must fit into this 0.1% (and I am not disputing that that is the correct ratio, either) because I definitely use /usr/share/doc, but mostly because that holds more than just "documentation". For example, avahi stores example service definitions for ssh and sftp under /usr/share/doc, and I believe this behavior exists with other packages for non-strictly-documentation data. I don't know what the standard is for defining what, if anything, should be placed under /usr/share/doc, but as it stands now, we should at least know and acknowledge that it's not just READMEs and HTML files when we make the decision to not install it by default or to reduce the chance that it's installed. Having said that, I am all for saving space on a default install and/or making a more minimal install possible. I noticed just now that manpages are compressed, but with gz. I am sure this discussion has already happened, but maybe we can have an alternative man-xz format that will reduce the size of the individual packages for a Fedora Minimal or somesuch (I think manpages should be very, very far down on the list of what to be left out from an install, as they are sometimes the last resort on what to do).
