To the best of my knowledge, no, it is not on hold. The main fracas over
/usr/doc vs. /usr/share/doc was that during the transition, packages
would be using both locations, and users would not know where to look.
For /usr/man (and /usr/info), the tools that read from those dirs have
been modified to look in both /usr/man and /usr/share/man, and thus the
transition is transparent to the users -- very few people habitually use
'nroff -man /usr/man/man1/ls.1.gz'
