+ <p><tt>mandoc(1)</tt> has been made the default manual page
+ formatter on HEAD -- man(1) will use <tt>mandoc(1)</tt> to
+ format manual pages by default, then fall back to
+ <tt>groff(1)</tt> if it fails.</p>
+
+ <p>This change also fixes an issue with FreeBSD <tt>man(1)</tt>
+ command not able to properly deal with ".so" in gzipped manual
+ pages.</p>
+
+ <p>The documentation team has spent a lot of time fixing issues
+ reported by <tt>mdoc(7)</tt> in the FreeBSD manual pages. This
+ greatly improves the quality of our manual pages.</p>
+
+ <p>Most manual pages with remaining issues are from contrib/ for
+ which changes should be reported and fixed upstream.</p>
+
+ <p>The "manlint" target has also been switch to use <tt>mandoc
+ -Tlint</tt> which results in the target being way more useful
+ when working on manual pages.</p>
+
+ <p>Some <tt>groff(1)</tt> vs <tt>mandoc(1)</tt> formatting
