</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; * I am not at home, actually  how much space they take ? For what kind of
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; size we are talking about ?
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; The /usr/share/doc/HTML/en folder has a size of 43.5 MiB, which even now if it takes a lot of place anyone can delete this folder from his system.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> We are not talking about deleting data from the harddisk. We are
</I>&gt;<i> talking about installing and uninstalling, not just deleting. The
</I>&gt;<i> issue is to avoid the installation (if not wanted) and consequently
</I>&gt;<i> avoid updates.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> I expected the discussion about the technical options to be quite long
</I>&gt;<i> and not at all trivial, I did not expect such a discussion about the
</I>&gt;<i> &quot;why&quot;. There are valid use cases which answer the &quot;why&quot; quite clear
</I>&gt;<i> and simple.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>
I dont understand very well. 
- We dont have a lot of space so we want to be able to uninstall some software and it has to be the documentation as the most unwanted ?
- We want for a question of free choice to be able to choose if we want the documentation to be installed or not ? but this has to be the same for all kde software and dependencies, why is the documentation the problem. 

Dont forget that is a part of KDE and it has a global shortcut F1 to access it. If there is a case that it will be not available until the user install it in a additionally way, it breaks the upstream software.

It is truth that i spend a lot of time to translate documentation, and i do it with love, so it is normal that i have a preference in their existence in the system; certainly i cannot use this argument here.
