A wrong decision from the early beginning -- I voted against it. You
all see problems where problems don't exist. The GNU way ever was to
ship files the user cannot build easily (that's why GNU packages come
the Texinfo source files and generated Info files).
If you (or we) don't want to do this, okay, but don't like to hear
lamentos why GNOME isn't able to make use of XML ;)
Enough emotion by my side.
