people seem happy with this, so i'll have the release team do a test build and see how it goes. there might be growing pains w/packages that lack a texinfo dep (or is accidental), but i don't expect this to impact too many packages (since the # generating info pages is small). and to clarify, the status of the actual info pages being installed into /usr/share/info/ will be unchanged. if you don't like those, you can always FEATURES=noinfo. -mike
