Steve, I do see his point because bitrot software doesn't help, and apart from our toolchain and a few other things, a lot of the GNU software is being forced out eventually. groff hasn't been touched in ages however. Regardless, there's already work being done to remedy this in the FreeBSD community; see: http://www.freebsdnews.net/2009/05/11/deprecating-groff-bsd-manual-display/ for one link. Thanks, -Garrett
