(a) So what? Neither, I daresay, is, oh, say, fpr, which is still
present in 9.1

Whoa there. Don't put down us older folks. And why would you want
to characterize "regular user" as being "not yet two decades old" ?

It didn't.
Trying it on my machines, it works (well, not with that exact path, but
with a different path to a manpage

Personally, I would consider that a mistake.
The major use I make of them - besides speed - is reading manpages out
of a directory in some unexpected corner of the filesystem. I have
found it far easier
I propose to remove catman(8).
The removal of all cat-man remnants was already implied during the
proposal of drop MKCATPAGES, but it apparently was not clear enough.
Rationale:
- cat pages are not generated by default since 2012 and almost nobody
(except me?) used them in the past few years.
