"Installing GCC" documentation: Why a nonstandard title page?

- Subject: "Installing GCC" documentation: Why a nonstandard title page?
The install.texi manual has the following bit of code for the title page:
------------------------------------------------------
@titlepage
@sp 10
@comment The title is printed in a large font.
@center @titlefont{Installing GCC}
------------------------------------------------------
However, this seems to be hardcoding something that texinfo has
perfectly good macros for, and it's also missing the standard GCC-manual
subtitle; the usual form is:
------------------------------------------------------
@titlepage
@title Installing GCC
@subtitle for GCC version @value{version-GCC}
------------------------------------------------------
Is there some reason for that? I see that it's doing various cleverness
with @settitle in the html things, but that and @settitle are
independent (as described on p.31 of the Texinfo manual.)
Also, is there some reason that install.texi doesn't include
gcc-common.texi?
