We had a consensus. Those people now wanting to undo the change had
plenty of opportunity to cause the change to never happen in the first

Arguably we did realize after we agreed to do it that it wouldn't be so

This discussion should be about how to make /usr/share/doc work right now
as it began---not a small group deciding that they want to second guess
