[tex-live] doc trees questions

I'd like to sort out (at least for myself) doc trees layouts.
1. do we have any list of documentation files to be updated from the
sources in many texmf trees? Eg. NEWS and pdf-syntax.txt are updated
only in the source tree.
2. some examples:
texmf/doc/ contains doc files copied or prepared from the sources,
right? The documentation here mostly describes the programs, like
bibtex8, dvips, etc. and more general web2c and kpathsea.
texmf-dist/doc/aleph and bibtex (but they are also programs).
texmf-doc/doc/pdftex/ contains 3 files copied from the source tree
(NEWS, README and pdf-syntax.txt, not yet updated).
I think that those files should be consequently in texmf/doc/
or the whole pdftex/ should be rather moved to texmf-dist/doc/
Last thing: texmf-doc/ tree isn't declared in $TEXMF (texmf.cnf), so
texdoctk has no chance finding the files. I'm affraid that all
texmf* trees should be declared at least in texdocrc.defaults. Am I right?
Any idea?
