I note that some people still missed that after marking the MKCATPAGES
files obsolete, every NetBSD/z80 users relying on catman(8) (thus even
FUZIX/z80 uses dynamic man-pages formatting!) will wipe cat dirs on each
update. I also note that these people insisting on keeping the cat/ dirs
have no slight idea how catman(8) does work (hint: it is aware about...
mkdir(2))

In the context of objections from people unaware how does catman(8) work
at all, I accept that the most serious argument for keeping MKCATPAGES
is that I use window(1).
