The reason is, they are also used in eclasses that might be generic; while for |

example kde eclass checks for the presence of files before dodoc-ing them, I |

would rather see it ignore the actually presence or less of the files, and |

just dodoc the one that exists, without failing if some does not exists. |

One can be reasonably safe that it will find AUTHORS ChangeLog README NEWS and |
| 12 |
TODO files in generic packages, if they follow GNUs style for example, but |
| 13 |
sometimes they can be missing. |
