OK, I see here a suggestion that in the year 2020, installed catpages
save the day as the only way how to get a formatted manpage for
publicly available operating system while in single-user without a
read-write /tmp. And that is the reason to keep the tool in base. For
the record, I find this suggestion really bizzare.

It really looks like arguing just for arguing sake.
