I had spent a bit of time on it a few weeks ago which resulted in the
gnome-games-help split and a few other bits but - I agree; we dropped
(or at least weren't watching) the ball on this lately.

I do think going forward the right way to approach this is going to be
systemic changes like changelog/%doc and even longer term localized
distribution rather than cutting functionality.  But I'll take another
look today to see whether there are some localized changes that can be
made.
