While that's 30MB on disk, using bzip2 as an approximation, that would only save about 3.5MB of CD space. Still may be worth doing.
I've been pretty vocally opposed to removing documentation in the past. Because if the documentation is interesting to ship for the real case, then it's also interesting for being on the live images. Especially as they're installable. And especially as we start looking at things like deltarpm where having those bits on the disk to begin with matters
But is it interesting to ship for the real case, or should it be in a separate package? For example, I'm not sure that /usr/share/doc/ghostscript-8.61/Humor.htm is really relevant in all cases.
Another argument in relation to docs and languages is that a lot of the documentation we ship is only available in a handful of languages anyway (in practice, only English), so it will not really help the people for whose benefit we include all those languages anyway...
