My so-far-unstated inclination, since seeing the patch to fix the
unbalanced example block separators from Brian (which was outside
and before this four-patch series), has been to keep our Makefile in
Documentation/ aware only of AsciiDoc while maintaining *.txt files
in a state so that AsciiDoctor could also be used to process them,
if people want to futz with their copies of Documentation/Makefile.

I do not mind to have the machinery to run AsciiDoctor too much in
my tree.  It may make it easier for those who use it to spot places
in *.txt that need (in)compatibility workarounds between the two
formatters than keeping it outside.

But somebody needs to maintain that machinery and that will not be
me.

Thanks.
