This ageist comment is offensive and not appropriate on NetBSD lists.

That is not my experience; I have not infrequently seen them named
ending with .cat1, .cat2, .cat3, etc. I think I've even seen them
named simply .1, .2, .3, etc, differentiated from the inp

I just discovered another reason I would like to keep catpages, or at
the very least support for them if the admin cares to enable it.
I was on a 9.1 system (for work, not that that matters to my point)
