Yes, the training materials could become part of the docs, as you suggest. The reason why I'm somewhat resistant to this idea is that the documentation is versioned. It will be easier to maintain the training content and its exercises and examples if we only have to be concerned with having one version (for the latest Flink release), and I don't really see any added value to the community in keeping older versions of the training online.
