Ok, that is good.

We did this in Debian for some time, but I stopped and moved everything
back to texmf-dist/doc.

The simple reason is
	texdoc

I want people to be able to use texdoc to find documentation.
There is such an amount of docs in TL, that just browsing
is a pain. texdoc works much better.

You can move it to some other place, but have to make sure
that the kpathsea still searches it for doc files ...

Or you dump texdoc, but I don't recommend it.
