Any news about this?

I've just submitted a new solution to the wiki which should allow you to do that:

You just need to adjust the partition table to make /home bigger and MyDocs smaller.

You will lose the content of MyDocs, but that folder is easy to backup (copy 'n paste). All your settings etc will be kept.
Please note I've applied that method to a cleanly PR1.3 reflashed device, though the method should work on a 'dirty' device as well.

Also possible: full eMMC as ext3 /home (with MyDocs as loopback file) + MicroSD as swap =
