Likely yes: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/511948 The point is: if all manpages need to be build then Xen needs to depend on pandoc, which in turn depends on ghc. Neither of them is seen as a "core" package, while "Xen" is a core package. Either ghc becomes a core package, or Xen is moved out of core. In this context "core" means it is part of a install DVD, if I understand the concept of "rings" correctly. Do you see any downside of this series? There is currently a mix of pod and markdown format for the manpages. This change gets it closer to have them all as pod.
