I definitely understand the preference for Markdown for simple docs.
Asciidoc has some weird choices (URL syntax is even uglier than Markdown,
which is saying something; handling of formatting and punctuation is a
little ungainly, etc.)

It has some really nice features for more complicated docs, and things like
Admonitions are super-nice for ... well, computer docs. There are also some
things like macros which we don't use enough in Fedora Docs but I'd like to
more.

Since I hope docs — and SIG work in general, really — are areas where
Fedora and CentOS can increasingly collaborate, I'd really like to see as
much working in the same way as possible around these kinds of things!
