Since rpm itself already supports the --excludedocs argument, does

yum api and whether or not it would support passing along standard rpm
arguments or if yum itself might need to be modified.
It should be pretty straight-forward. pykickstart already parses a
--excludedocs argument to %packages. When that argument is given, we
just need to set the rpm macro _excludedocs to 1. If someone wants to
whip up the patch, I would have no problem at all applying it
