Hi,
I packaged dozen of packages and I'm used to put LICENSE and README
files just as:
%doc README LICENSE
which place these files in:
/usr/share/doc/%{name}-%{version}
Recently I started packaging some rubygems and reviewers pointed [1,2]
me that I should not explicitly move these files to this location and
leave them in %{gem_instdir}.
I do not feel it is correct behaviour.
Agreed.
Though there can be reasons for not putting LICENSE and README files
into %_docdir [1], I am inclined to believe the ruby packages's behavior
to be a "bad habit" which ought to be abandoned.

[1] Eg. READMEs may document files neighboring them. Forcing such
READMEs into %_docdir doesn't make much sense, IMO.
