It certainly is.  It didn't really gain traction before it was
imported into our tree.  Both main developers develop almost
exclusively on OpenBSD.  It matured because the OpenBSD base system
heavily and uncompromisingly relied on it before anybody else did.
Very relevant parts of the development were done during OpenBSD
hackathons.  During the last year, the majority of patches have
been committed to OpenBSD before being committed to the portable
version of mandoc at bsd.lv.  OpenBSD-current and even the OpenBSD
5.4 release had the code that is now called mandoc 1.12.2
long before that 1.12.2 release was made.

And that's not just Kristaps and my point of view, other projects
look at it the same way, see for example

Well, maybe it didn't absolutely need it, but thanks for the nice idea,
it looks good.  Also try clicking on the Puffy on http://mdocml.bsd.lv/ .

Sure, that was missing.  Fixed now.

So, after improving these points, i put the link onto the page today.

Thanks for you feedback,
