I am perfectly happy with the doc packages going away.  If someone wants to 
work on or follow docs, using CVS/CVSup works just fine.

What do people think about:

ln -s /usr/share/doc /usr/local/www/data/doc

    (s/data/data-dist, if you like)

...I try to set that up locally on anything that runs a webserver, just for the 
sake of having it locally, but maybe that would be a good idea in general?

Either put something similar to http://www.freebsd.org/docs.html as 
/usr/share/doc/index.html, or perhaps even update the index.html.XX files 
already in www/data-dist to include a reference to localized FreeBSD docs.
