The biggest argument against it is that several Markdown conventions
conflict with existing Haddock conventions, so you don't get to mix and
match and you may have to specify which convention you're using. Note that
a flag day to deprecate the old Haddock is not an option, unless you are
offering to rewrite the haddocks of every existing package.
