 JD> Is there a reason for this change?

It's rms boilerplate.  [Texinfo can generate (at least) HTML as well
as Info.]

 JD> Could we change back to something that is recognized by texinfo?

We shouldn't be limited by what texinfmt can handle; I don't know if
it's maintained any more, and it definitely isn't up-to-date.
Distributions should contain formatted Info files, not that there's
anything I can do about that.
