Probably not yet.  What's the general feeling of everyone else regarding
how long we should keep old-style markup around?

I'm not sure I understand that part of your question.
I think the new markup is reliable enough now (at least a reliable as
the rest of the newer features).  There may be small changes in
the markup syntax, but I don't envision any wholesale changes...

Yes.  That's my vision of where we're heading.
(Perhaps also a configuration option to disable the new markup
altogether?)

That's probably not a big problem.  As of a few weeks ago, that's
what the CVS code does anyway.  (The old markup code is no longer used,
instead the old-markup converted to new markup, then run through
the new markup engine...)

When we get to that point, we can either auto-convert old to new
markup upon zip/pgsrc import, or upon page edit...
