[racket-dev] Fishy directory rename

Does it not make sense to you that someone might want to use htdp without
using the tests? As for the docs, the split there is so that someone can
produce a package that re-uses the implementation of the teaching languages
without focusing all clients to get and install the documentation. Think of
someone writing a universe game in the final project and then wanting to
share it with others. Sure seems reasonable to me.
