Yes, that is pretty clear :), but thanks for reinstating.
Since, I find a couple of non-sequitur in your reasoning belows; I
follow-up just for the sake of the argument.

No, they can't, *while they are offline*.

That is not really a sound counter argument: most GNU-Emacs
distributions are package based and can easily split out -doc packages
to avoid wasting space on *everybody's* disk.

Well, the Emacs help system is *very* powerful: once you entered a
specific info topic, you can C-s and it will look for text in all the
documentation; I would have personally found the information without
bothering the list, had it been there.
