When I wrote the article (last week) it was a lot closer :) As for why: Debian may have resolved this, for now at least, but this is an issue that is sure to crop up in distributions that are not as quick to pick up new groff releases. In that sense, the topic is very much timely. And as for the groff release ... I sure wish we could find another writer to hire to help us restore some of our wider community coverage. If you know any likely candidates, do send them our way. Thanks, jon
