[Encode] poll; should *.ucm be relocated out of Encode?

Encode Hackers,

  I think I have overlooked the impact of ucm-transition.
It is possible that *.ucm be relocated elsewhere so they won't be installed in lib/perl5. Unlike *.enc files which are actually used by modules *.ucm are not needed for runtime because they are all compiled-in. I would enjoy *.ucm installed but (ports|pkg|rpm) maintainers would think otherwise. My opinion is a little shaky but I am against it because in a way they can act like pod for *.pm. Surely we can use it more creatively than just a source of XS. How about ucmdoc :? But once again package developers may not be happy about it and I would like to be sure of the consensus.
  I am looking forward to your opinions.
