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...
