You're oversimplifying the issue; documentation is relatively easy to handle compared to the other stuff like non-free firmware.

Ripping out non-free firmware has been done for a while in Debian when it
was noticed. Certainly more than a year ago the first firmwares were
removed.

Hm, I gathered from the developer irc channel discussion that the issue is far from resolved, but I might've misunderstood.

Regardless, I also recall that the release manager was of the opinion that this whole thing would be a major hassle. Ah well.
