No, I didn't. I guess you didn't understand me.

My point is that we don't have to enforce the export laws - they don't
apply to us. I am saying we should do nothing about US export laws.
As it happens we probably want the docs separate for other reasons, but
let's not get into worrying about any laws that don't actually apply to
us - it only encourages them to keep on making stupid laws if they work
so effectively that people they don't even apply to obey them.
Of course, if contributors _want_ us to arrange things in a particular
way for their convenience, that's a different matter.
Cheers,
Ben.
