haddock interoperates rather extremely closely with the ghc-api.

Pulling it out would make something that already seems to go a bit out of sync with each release that much harder to keep in sync.

It is also used to build the documentation for all the packages that ship with ghc out of the box. Pulled out I don't see a sane way to generate those docs.

Perhaps Haddock shouldn't be included with GHC either, now that we have HP
for the batteries included distribution?
