That could indeed be really good because many manuals provide useful
information for "simple" editors and with the move to reST we should
start thinking about more advanced integration of the documentation
within TYPO3. I could easily think of showing the "user manual part" of
installed extensions for my editors.

So, yes, makes sense in my eyes to move it away from EM.

Kind regards
