Description Michael Shigorin 2005-06-29 23:36:08 MSD
It may make more sense to use only %name for docdir, not %name-%version: it
makes file links less volatile.  Debian project may have had more discussions on
that.

Ideally, the behaviour could be controlled by some additional macro
(multidocdir? :) for easier use in packages which are designed to allow
simultaneous installation of several versions.

Looks like it's been accepted in fedora: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/UnversionedDocdirs

There was a time when I wanted this so much, because with each update of some packages invalidated  a useful portion of my bash and browser history.
