What good is it to have documentation one is unable to modify? It took (and still takes) a lot of effort to help developers master Texinfo (try searching this list for comments to various docs patches, if you want examples). I hope that slowly people here are beginning to realize that accompaining code changes with corresponding doco changes is not such a hard requirement after all. This is a good development, I think. If we add yet another language to what people need to know, we might simply ruin it all. So please reconsider the possibility of going back to Texinfo. Since I understand there's a tool available to make the conversion, it sounds like the amount of work is not large.
