packages-doc

Hi!

I have one question (I am new Arch user): why is ''good'' to remove /usr/doc from packages?
For example Shorewall Firewall. In the original which I built with ./configure...make...I have samples, documentation...but AUR package is without. If I install AUR package tan I need to go to Shorewall site and download ''docs''.
Thanks.

That's just the way Archlinux is, we don't clutter up systems with duplicate and/or useless docs that one could just as well get online.

Somebody brings this up once every 2 weeks...I swear.
