CouchDB 2.0 View Compaction

I've been playing around with the CouchDB 2.0 Developer Preview, and loaded up a database with ~200M records. I noticed that each of the nodes properly handles automatic database compaction, but it appears only some of the views are being automatically compacted. With a dataset this size, we need to reduce the footprint as much as possible.

Using the old Couchdb view compaction API, I am able to kick off view compaction using the backend port on each node in the cluster, but only on the shard databases that have the actual design doc. Do I need to manually add the design documents to each of the shard databases?

It should be possible to do this without adding design documents to each shard so this looks like a bug in the 2.0 developer preview. The CouchDB compaction daemon is affected by the same issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2817
