I mean: while there are many patches, we could fix-as-we-go, and when there are not many patches, we could grep and fix pages that still use a mix of styles. BTW, I'm fixing perf_event_open.2, and in the first 1400 lines there have only been around 20 net additions due to .RS/.RE, so it's not like a lot of extra markup (around 1% or 2% extra lines).
