I can understand that, as I am heavy user of man pages, but there was a pressure to make distro smaller. What was behind wasn't explained, but the goal was set to 128 MB for the very base system and AJ email appeared to be very serious.
We are talking about <7kBytes here. The comment also indicates that it was done for build purposes. Again, the doc package is about 640kBytes in size - it's OK to split off most of it - but not the manpages.
BTW, for guys that know how to use man pages installation of extra package is a bit more work, but far from a problem ;-)
That's a different topic - also that PolicyKit-doc is missing from the
standard selection is a different topic - what this thread is about is a
thing that is just something I really want to prevent in the beginning.
