Why?

See the "Benefit to Fedora" section.
 
This will allow to have foo-9.8.4 installed together with foo-doc-1.0.0. In other words, user can have pretty outdated documentation. Or new documentation and outdated code.

I don't think whether the doc dir names are versioned or not has anything to do with the above. It is already now possible, and it continues to be possible after this change.
 
Do we want that?

If you don't want the above mix of versions to be possible, use versioned rpm dependencies to enforce it, just like needs to be done today.
