[bug #64279] Proposal to rename roff(7)

[G. Branden Robinson]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #64279 (project groff):

On my Debian system, mandoc's roff(7) page is installed as mandoc_roff(7).

I figure other distributors can do similar things with our page, if they want
to favor mandoc's over ours.

I don't see a reason to cede this piece of name space to mandoc in a GNU
project whose foremost support concern is GNU systems.

mandoc advocates' project of championing their alternative to *roff formatting
seems sometimes to shade into an effort at erasure.
