FWIW, git still defaults to asciidoc over asciidoctor. Some
work has been done to accommodate asciidoctor, but there are
a few minor formatting issues when building the docs with
asciidoctor that have kept me from using it in the git
packages.
I agree that newer projects should target asciidoctor's
implementation. I just wouldn't want to see asciidoc
dropped too soon because we think it's completely unused.
