I guess distros don't package what you ship until you actually tag a release, so it would be OK to start doing so during a cycle to shake out any problems (and in fact preferable, as anybody who follows "master" using "make install-man-quick" would get it early and be able to make a report). If we are doing that, it would make sense to flip MAN_BOLD_LITERAL on by default during that same cycle, so we could get reports from people who build the manpages from source. -Peff
