Well, I am already in about halfway of the page...

I haven't experienced major problems with markup (yet). This is probably
because I am trying to "write it out" a little, instead of basically copying
the file like was apparently done in the other BSDs. The content remains the
same, of course.

It shouldn't be noticeable harder to maintain than a text file. FWIW,
generally manual pages also appear to suffer less from bitrot than random
files. But maybe this is just circular reasoning ;-).
