Follow-up Comment #2, bug #67013 (group groff): The NEWS item seems to understate the magnitude of the change.
I've never passed a PAGE value to "configure" when building groff, and my
built troffs have always produced US-letter pages by default--until now. My
latest build now has troff producing A4 pages by default.
This could be blamed on my system's /etc/papersize, a three-byte file
containing "a4" followed by a newline. But groff has never before used this
value in /etc/papersize (which has remained unchanged since at least 2020),
and nothing in this NEWS item suggests it will now.
NEWS should be more explicit about this change, or it'll catch some percentage
of users unaware.
