Would have been if I could find any recent work of Brian's within
spitting distance of my budget.  AT&T binaries aren't going to be
supported on non-AT&T hardware, and SVR4 bundles otroff.
It's a bit difficult to justify the expense of a DWB source license
for the occasional formatting of one person.

Actually, what with groff's price, I can't really even justify the cost
of DWB binaries, and certainly not if I need to buy AT&T hardwre to
run it in a supported fashion.

Brian's recent work doesn't affect me.  So I don't mention him.
That does make me sad though.
