I checked the most recent documentation on github here <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/blob/master/doc/admin-guide/en-US/markdown/admin_managing_volumes.md#shrinking-volumes">https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/blob/master/doc/admin-guide/en-US/markdown/admin_managing_volumes.md#shrinking-volumes</a> and
found only examples for 'remove-brick force' (which obviously
doesn't migrate any data) and 'replace-brick' (which is now
deprecated but isn't noted as such in the docs). I'm left
wondering why they don't have a non-forceful remove-brick
operation documented for people that simply want to remove a
brick while migrating data to remaining bricks. </div>

Am I missing something or this common use case undocumented?</div>

This is indeed a valid use case; it looks like portions of the doc
are outdated :-/.<br>
While it gets fixed, you can refer to the RHS admin guide

section 8.4 (and other sections in general for more up to date
information). <br>
