Re: [bug #38997] "@itemx must follow @item" is now an error

    The statement is that the warning "@itemx must follow @item" has
    been turned into an error between makeinfo 4.13 and 5.1.
    ...
    Consider to revert that change back into a warning.

Patrice, wasn't there a specific reason we decided to make that an
error?  Neither my brain nor my searching is coming up with it.
