Re: Gcc mainline failed to build with texinfo 4.6

[Bryce McKinlay <mckinlay at redhat dot com>]

Most current linux distributions still ship TexInfo 4.5 or 4.6. Fedora 
core 2, for example, only has 4.6. Is this small change worth the hassle 
for everyone to manually update their TexInfo? Unless this is a 
compelling/essential feature that we really need, I'd prefer if we could 
maintain the version requirement as-is, until current OS's have caught up.
