I still can't read from this discussion if FreeBSD base actually needs =
all the functionality that groff provides, and if the proposed =
alternatives are lacking needed functionality which cannot be worked =
around by simple changes to the distributed man-pages like the ones =
committed in the last weeks.

I may be horribly misinformed, but man-page rendering does seem like a =
fairly simple task.
