Comment:

 For interactive use and use in your scripts, you should definitely go with
 asciidoctor. We keep asciidoc because many build systems of other
 components still depend on it and its installed binaries and scripts.

 As explained above, I've replaced asciidoc with the asciidoc-py3 fork
 since Python 2.7 is unsupported since 2020-01-01, so continuing to use it
 is not a suitable solution. If packages whose build systems use asciidoc
 now trip over the version number, they should be fixed to no longer do
 this (or not even check the asciidoc version at all).

 Ideally, all dependent software would stop using asciidoc, but until such
 time arises, we'll have to fix the failures as they happen.
