I build SBo packages in a chroot so I could probably just remove Markdown from my system (I'm guessing it's a build-time dependency only for SBo packages to build docs?).

Sorry, I just noticed it was announced back on July 8 that Markus was giving up his scripts (including Markdown):

So currently Markdown is an orphaned script.
