Any problems if I reworked these manpages to only require
-man-old for compatibility with these systems? (Other than

Yes. At least from me.

All good points. Any leads on software that can convert from
-mdoc to -man? That would neatly address this issue for me.

Not really. I haven't really used -man for any substantial
amount of work in years. Maybe Ruslan, who is our groff-guru
knows about something?
