That strikes me as an awfully web-centric view of things. Not everyone
has an always-on high-speed Internet link.
If you want to make the docs and TODO.detail be a separate chunk of the
split distribution, that's fine with me. But I don't agree with
removing them from the full tarball.
OTOH, if Marc was only thinking of removing the pre-built docs from the
tarball, I don't object to that. I'm not sure why those weren't
distributed as separate tarballs from the get-go. I just say that the
doc sources are part of the source distribution...
