Re: bug#10385: e binding in info-mode

[Richard Stallman]

    Why?  What if someone wants to create a small Info file and doesn't want to
    bother with texinfo or doesn't have the conversion/make tools handy?

It is really preferable to write in Texinfo.  I don't see a reason why we
should want to encourage people to write Info files directly.

Have you encountered anyone who really wanted to do so?
