For anyone with a multi-terabyte HDD, most certainly disk space isn't a problem.  For those of us with a modestly sized SSD, 6GB of docs for three user installations, instead of 2GB, isn't insignificant.  It's possible the "problem" (read: annoyance, not an actual problem) could be ameliorated with symbolic links to the .docset in /Library/...

So yeah, in my mind at least, it's not a "problem", just an annoyance.

Cheers,

I don't know why the change was made -- perhaps security-related, to keep third-party .docset files out of /Library. Whatever.

But I was wrong when I said /Library/Developer/ is no longer used; Xcode still picks up any .docset files there just fine, and I'm guessing it keeps them up-to-date. I just tried moving my 10.8 .docset file there, and it works fine. So perhaps the answer to your rhetorical question is: no, it's not *necessary*.

(Although I think the issue is more one of wasted bandwidth downloading three times than wasted disk space.)
