The benefit would be for the repository and its mirrors, _if_ it's a huge (!)
"noarch" subpackage that can be hardlinked between multiple repositories to
save space.

It has never been in the official guidelines, since it's a minor detail only.
And similar to the "large documentation must go into a -doc subpackage"
guideline, deciding when data are sufficiently "large enough" is troublesome.
Creating too many small subpackages is not without pitfalls (such as repo
metadata bloat / user needs to search for the documentation package).
