Why do we need a pandoc exporter?  And why do we need it in core?

There's already quite a few backends to work on when we want to improve
the general exporter framework.  By all means, I'm not against a pandoc
exporter, I'm just trying to understand the reasoning.

Note: my distro doesn't have a binary pandoc package so I have never tried
it.
