Oh, indeed you are correct. Apparently I forgot that.
In any case, Fedora doesn't plan on shipping the kernel docs any longer.
May I ask why not? As a kernel developer I found them very useful. I'll gladly
admit that they should probably be in a separate sub-package, not -doc itself,
although if you're dropping that altogether then it does not matter.
Not having them at all is quite inconvenient, and I quite often find myself
missing them ... Maybe drop the html docs, and re-introduce the man pages?
