This feature should become a central goal. Currently the help button is
of quite limited use if you want to learn something about Fedora
specific topics. It is in it's current incarnation even of very limited
use as a starting point and quick access help to reach the available
information most installed programs deliver in /usr/share/docs.
But this intention may conflict with the intention to meet the upstream
work as much as possible?

If there are good reasons to deviate from upstream in a preferably non
intrusive fashion, we can request that. The idea to stick close to
upstream is not a iron clad rule. Its a general guideline. Since Fedora
releases are not in sync with all of the several different upstream
projects, many of the packages would end up carrying bug fixes that
havent been upstreamed yet. So we should carefully evaluate the cost of
maintaining a patch vs the advantage of doing so everytime we deviate
from upstream packages
In this if the underlying help system itself is DE neutral in such a way
that the same documents show up in any DE/WM that we ship in core, its
reasonable to provide a patch for that system to show the Fedora
documentation too but as long core includes both GNOME and KDE, adding a
dependency to yelp for the documentation packages looks unreasonable to me
