If this means that we should avoid quoting text just because Drew doesn't like a certain type of quotes
No, it doesn't mean that. There are still thousands of places in the manual that still quote text using `` and '', so the corresponding info files still quote “like this” with curved double quotes in thousands of places. The particular place Drew objected to was confusing, though, and it's one of the hundreds of places where I toned down the quoting. The manuals were using quotes too often, and this was independent of the issue of what quoting characters to use on display.
