This is obviously true. My point was different.

If you need to choose a default backend in info mode, xref-eslips is
more useful than xref-etags which is the current default. If you set a
tag table, it will be for one language (at least one location). How does
it help you reading glibc, Gawk, GDB, Make, Guile ...?
