This is a regression (not backward compatible) caused by Branden acting as a developer (not as a maintainer).
This is the second case of this kind of a bug (bug #65077), see for example "CSTR #54", chapter 5, about the 'ns' request or the "groff.info" (info groff) and groff(7) (incomplete). Macros for historical documents should be put into a separate directory (e.g., tmac/historical), which can then be searched with the '-M <directory>' option. The user should have control, not a committer. Read the "mission statement" in https://www.gnu.org/software/groff/ See also commit 3061f20f53e3616a8577fd2ecce1b068d0d66dd4 Author: G.
