I think the reason for a 128 base package request might have something
to do with KIWI,
in order to support a Wyse terminal with the best local video,sound and
app support is to have a network independent "thin client" it can
boot,run an x session and possibly even authenticate the local root for
updating and tweaking. therefor removing documentation from these "base"
packages would be essential.

We are talking about 6 KBytes of manpages, not 640 KBytes of complete
documentation. What use is it to have the programs if they are unusable
due to missing manpages?

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
