Re: info.info conflict between emacs and texinfo

    But isn't that strange ... I mean texinfo ships the info reader,

Emacs ships an Info reader too -- the original one, and one far more
commonly used than standalone Info, I suspect.  And most all changes to
info.texi in the last X years have been about info.el and Emacs things.

    shouldn't it also ship the info documentation?

Well, it will still include info-stnd.texi.

I suppose the problem is that then people who want to use standalone
Info will have to install emacs to get the manual.  That's true. 

It's fine with me for it to be maintained in texinfo, but if the Emacs
people are happy with that.  Andreas?

For myself, I don't actually care what happens, if anything - included
in Emacs, included in Texinfo, included in both, it's all the same to
me.  Whatever everyone will be satisfied with ...
