Quoth G. Branden Robinson:
That’s nice, but s,Plan 9,plan9port,.I am aware of the distinction but, really, does anyone _else_ maintain Plan 9's troff? It seems to me that the Plan 9 porters have adopted an uncontested mantle of responsibility. Does Vita Nuova work on it?
The thing closest to Plan 9 that is being worked on is 9front. It gets frequent commits, including its troff every now and then. That doesn’t have a .MR yet. Plan 9 is abandoned and its title was not inherited. Currently, it’s old code under the copyright of the Plan 9 foundation.
Plan 9 troff is not going to change anymore and to a number of people, me included, “Plan 9 troff” sounds like someone meant “9front troff”. That’s confusing.
