A) Regarding documentation: Hey.. why not try this: 1) alter makepkg to create a second <pkgname>-docs package if there are any docs [includes /usr/share/doc and info pages (i badly need these for a lot of programs when offline)]
2) create a separate "docs" repository which has just these document packages (these packages have no dependencies on anything, so no hastle maintaining them) 3) The transition to these stuff can go on slowly.. meaning start off now, so that all future packages will have docs, dont worry about older packages until a rebuild is necessary for some other purpose. Thus we can endup with an elegant solution pleasing ppl who want documentation(*shouts me me me!*) and ppl who dont care about docs. (disclaimer: i dunno if anyone has suggested this.. but i just got this as a brainwave this morning :D ) B) Regarding pacman normal features, i request some option to allow "automatic downgrading" as i had explained in one of my previous threads.
