   Seems like you should just put the help in C:/ProgramData (that is to say, in an "all users" writable location), because the idea of having lots of copies of the help is annoying, and frankly, the idea of the help cmdlets having to search in an additional location, and pick the most up to date help just reminded me of how slow help search is already...

   I'd say this is important no matter what, but it's especially important as long as sudo Update-Help doesn't work.
