Yes, I object. If the component is totally unmaintained then we should drop it from the groff distribution. Keeping it in the distribution implies that we intend to maintain it. It's a biconditional, in my view.
I think this should be rejected. Making the build of a totally unmaintained component more verbose is detrimental and distracting. If somebody wants to pick up maintenance of these macros and also takes care of the resulting noise in the build log, all the better, but not as long as nobody is working on this stuff. Any objections to closing this ticket as "Invalid"?
