At the current point of time, the Texinfo generated output includes Info
(without translations or images, still good for proofreading the primary
pages), PDF (better than printing the HTML pages), and is included in
the translation process for the manuals.

For better or worse, like many other parts of LilyPond it ends up being
maintained by "the usual suspects".  In the case of translations, by our
usual translation team generally working on Texinfo.  Some drive-by work
putting it on an entirely different footing with unclear prospects about
translations and continued management can easily lead to more rather
than less head-scratching at a later point of time.

And the manuals are going to remain in Texinfo anyway, so it's not like
we could get rid of texi2html and its ilk.
