kernel was identified as a package possibly needing maintainer attention due to the F-20 unversioned doc dir change. The identification is not foolproof, it is basically this grep: grep -E "(/doc|_docdir|_defaultdocdir).+version" *.spec Please review your package and make the appropriate changes, if any. A good starting point is checking the lines output by the above grep for your specfile. For the vast majority of packages, after the changes, the expected outcome is that documentation dirs in /usr/share/doc should no longer contain the package version.

We're not going to change this. The documentation installed by the kernel is very version specific, and the kernel is one of the few packages in Fedora that can have parallel installed versions.
Reopening just to confirm, is the intention for several kernel-doc to be parallel installable as well? If yes, they currently aren't because the man pages which aren't installed into versioned dirs cause conflicts. Also if yes, yum's configuration should probably be adjusted accordingly (add kernel-doc to installonlypkgs).

The man pages that are installed are for kernel internals, and therefore still version specific. They're also essentially a copy of the HTML pages installed in /usr/share/doc/kernel-<version>. I think we'll just not install the man pages at all.
