Then, for the nth time, what would be the good solution? How would one convert prepalldocs usage to something allowed? I've failed to find anything about it in the relevant bug and the only answer I've seen is "remove it". You can count on me for marking any prepalldocs removal bug I'll be the assignee as wontfix as long as there won't be any alternative solution. Note that I would consider a viable solution banning prepalldocs and simply removing it if portage was compressing docs by its own or calling prepalldocs after src_install... but then IMHO that's the removal of prepalldocs that would require an EAPI bump not its reintroduction.
