I suggest to disscuss extreme big auto-generated apidocs(size > 100M) rpm case by case, it'll be better to determine whether shipping it or not by FESCo. I think only popular libraries are worth to ship a big -doc subpackage, other library packages should not enable generate big doc subpackage by default, user who really need those docs can generate -doc subpackage by running 'rpmbuild -bb with...'.
