Hello,
imho that is really annoying since some systems which never
updated from 1.19.2 because of licensing reasons and have not yet
moved to mandoc(1) are not capable to display the manual
correctly via man(1) out of the box.
And it is completely unnecessary since it seems Werner has
designed the new behaviour in a way that makes transition
painlessly possible, which i have done in the attached patch.
