I don't necessarily agree, but anyway, it doesn't really matter, IMHO. What does matter is that someone who wants to find a description of a command--any command--should know in what manual to look. Working with more than a single manual at a time is not very convenient in most Info readers. Since the internals manual omits more than it describes, I expect someone who messes with the internals to read the code more than the manual. So having all the commands in one manual is more convenient even for a GDB developer.
