You could ask the same question from a different perspective: was it a
good idea to change policy to use /usr/share/doc before the transition
was hashed out? And is it a good idea to leave it that way?
Perhaps the change should be reverted until we have a solution.

Well, I don't see any grave problems in having docs in two different
places. No essential part of the system breaks by that, it just causes
some minor inconvenience.
