I find this argument pretty unconvincing. Most of the contrib modules
serve at least some purpose as coding examples.
If we set up a situation where all but one or two are documented in the
main SGML docs, the net effect will be that people don't even know that
the ones left out exist. Even a module that's only useful as an example
won't be useful at all, if people don't find it.
