Description of problem: The docs-common/ module should be checked out as a submodule for checked-out directories. It cuts down on the work that contributors have to do to work in CVS. It also makes our CVS work more like the rest of the Fedora Project. Moving this to a submodule increases the predictability of location, making build tool stuff easier to deal with. It makes PO-based translations across the common structures easier as well. There are a lot of pieces to take care of in this case, but we could eliminate a lot of pre-rendered content, including the SVG => PNG, the entities PO => XML => .ent, and especially the multiplicity of XML files for translated content which are simply silly to have now that we understand gettext tools. This may not be a blocker issue but certainly we should try and make progress on this up to F7 release.
Ticket moved to allow products to be removed from BZ.
