I think removing the entities entirely from the distribution and then
forcing people to hunt them down and integrate them is a step backwards for
DocBook.

Why not just adopt their entity sets and make them part of the DTD, and then
include them with the distribution?  Do you think they will be changing so
often that this will become a maintenance headache?  We could include
comments for people to get the very latest if they need them.
