I believe that for man pages, roff should've been replaced by Docbook XML a long time ago.
Personally, i'm grateful that it hasn't. Apart from Ingo's thorough critique of DocBook:
https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20190419101505i doubt i'd have had as much enthusiasm for creating the man page ports of s6-related documentation if i'd had to use DocBook, rather than being able to use mdoc(7). In fact i probably wouldn't have done them at all.
