And today, there's
_[https://osdn.net/users/keith/pf/groff-pdfmark/wiki/ChangeLog even more
extensive divergence]_ than there was when I wrote comment #12.

Yet today, following a pull and update from git master, I _still_ see no

the obsolescence of groff's pdfroff/pdfmark distribution deserves a mention in
NEWS, as well as in pdfroff(1).
