As pointed out:

Konstantin is correct -- every sendmail import refreshes what is built
by share/doc/smm/08.sendmailop/Makefile.  That document (operations
guide) should not be removed.

That would cause a problem for contrib/ style imports like sendmail.
In the base source tree, share/doc/smm/08.sendmailop/Makefile (for
example) reads the documentation files from contrib/sendmail/doc/.
Moving share/doc/smm/08.sendmailop/Makefile to a different repo would be
an issue since the document source files are in the src repo.  I don't
think contrib packages should be imported into two trees.

How are the roff sources "naughty"?  If there are ancient/problematic
ones, remove them, not everything.  Worst case, I'll find another
place to put the sendmailop Makefile and install the output under
/usr/share/sendmail/.
