Same here - I have a lot of stuff which I started writing back on SunOS using ditroff, and it's nice that it all still works like it did originally - I doubt many other document formats have lasted so long. It was slightly annoying that Sun missed out pic when doing the Solaris port of Documentors Workbench (there was a long-standing Sun bugid for that - it was built and available internally). So I ended up carrying around my own builds of pic and grap anyway. (grap is the graphing tool in the family.)

dpost(1) is another tool of the family.

I could deal. It's one of the things I like about Illumos -- that I have real troff and friends, not just groff. I already pull outside stuff into my SmartOS boxes, so one more repo is no biggie.

Out of curiosity, would you find it incredibly inconvenient if troff and nroff were shuffled out of illumos gate and stashed in a separate repo somewhere? (Note that it is unclear which distros would continue to ship it -- they'd have the option.)

(Note that I'm not currently planning on this, just contemplating the option.)
