A bit off-topic...
Will /usr/share/man still have roff man pages as well as the HTML
conversion?
For those of us that think browsers are a poor way to read documentation
like man pages, e.g. poor searching, no remembering the scroll-bar
position, etc., presumably there will be a way we can keep the old
behaviour on a per-user basis? I like using less(1) because of the
immediacy of the result in the context where I'm working, or sometimes
vim(1) for the same reason plus it turns man pages references into tags
with a tag-stack.
Cheers,
Ralph.
