No big deal, I made it sound worse than it was- just wanted to point
out a specific case where it can be an inconvenience on users (e.g.
me) that customize things.

Just kill them; people that need them know how to find them on the
Internet. This was our philosophy 5 years ago and not sure why we
strayed away from it for non-man or non-info stuff. Also of note- even
though compressing it seems to make sense, it can easily make the
overall package compression suffer. We already have this issue with
manpages.
