RE: Request to reconsider removal of groff from base system

[Ron Swiernik <Ron.Swiernik%burlingtonstores.com@localhost>]

So let me get this right, you replaced a GENERIC text formatting tool with one that ONLY knows how to manual
pages. Now you want to move groff out of the base into pkgsrc leaving a tool that ONLY knows how to format
manual page macros whose output is border line stupid. And you are calling this progress?

Even Microsoft gives you Wordpad with the OS....

Leave it in.

All of my opinions are my own and do not in ANY way reflect those of the company I work for.

Excuse me for typo. The right sentence is:

I see the solution in NOT changing the preferences and provide
textproc/groff-minimal in pkgsrc.
