There’s a difference between the documentation that is //installed// and
the documentation that is //only in the tarball//. I maintain that
removing whatever documentation is not installed (e.g., moving `INTERNALS`
somewhere else in the repository and deleting `exampleport`) would result
in negligible, if not zero, complaints.
(Excluding documentation that’s actually relevant to the distributing the
source, like `LICENSE` and `NEWS`.)
