err...
We're already doing for monthes!!!
It was already supported on Mandriva side before the fork.
I've already converted most big -doc subpackages to noarch.
eg: coreutils-doc-8.8-2.mga1.noarch.rpm   ,exiv2-doc, gcc-doc

As for games, usually the data is already splited as the SRPM level
and thus is already noarch for quite a lot longuer (eg: openarena-data)

I'd only targeted the bigger -doc subpackages, so there're still low
hanging fruits
to harvest.
Especially since we're importing older SRPMS from mdv and I may have not
submitted all packages that I altered in SVN...
