location of developer documentation

Hi everyone,

most packages in Fedora install their development documentation
in /usr/share/doc/%{name}-devel-%{version}

I find this really annoying because every time a package gets upgraded
it breaks the bookmarks I make for documentation for no good reason.

Also, most upstream tarballs that actually install documentation by
themselves install it in $(datadir)/doc/$(name).

Is there a good reason for Fedora to override this usual location and
install developer docs in this versioned location ? What do people
think ?
