Dividing the manual into 2 volumes doesn't solve the problem which is
the main cause for trying to keep the manual's size down.  The main
cause is that a larger manual increases the price of printing the
books, and thus makes it harder for the FSF to publish new versions.
(I'm guessing that publishing 2 volumes will increase the price even
more.)

So we need to find a solution that makes the _printed_ manuals
smaller.  Dividing into two volumes doesn't help.
