Terminology is the last thing a user want to see. Why? If you are not familiar with a term, terminology is exactly the right place to look at instead of some random node in the "main text". There are dozens of nodes where the term NOV is mentioned. Adding such explanations in each node would be terrible. I'd prefer to have (most of) the new text in (info "(gnus)Terminology") and add references in (info "(gnus)Slow/Expensive Connection").
