I remember (but now can't find it) somebody commenting on the man file vs info documentation issue: that they disliked info because it doesn't reformat properly depending on window size.
Fedora (and GNU systems in general) should stop shipping info files, and should instead ship the texinfo source files. The makeinfo program will convert texinfo files into html or docbook, as well as old-fashioned info. Html or docbook is much nicer - you can use non-monospace fonts (for the body), and the text can be re-flowed to fit the window. Also, indexes and cross-references can take you to a precise location, rather than just a node.
An example of what you can do with texinfo: The Kawa home page at http://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/ is basically the Kawa texinfo manual, formatted to docbook using makeinfo, then formatted to HTML using the docbook-xslt stylesheets, with some extra shell-script hacking.
The info format is a obsolete legacy format designed for plain terminals. However, texinfo is a decent format - more compact and readable than (say) docbook. Texinfo is still actively maintained, with new features being added occasionally.
Info format should only be used for legacy programs that can only read info format: The standalone info program, and the emacs info mode. In both case, the info files should be generated on-the-fly as needed (and cached).
The user interface of the stand-alone info reader isn't bad - but better would be the info program's user interface (most importantly key-bindings) on top of a text-mode HTML browser such as lynx. In that case even the info program wouldn't use info files.
If so, instead of shipping texinfo, we might ship pre-formatted XHTML. (Emacs info mode would need to be able to handle such XHTML files, though.)
I doubt there is any important info documentation for which we can't get the texinfo source, so making this switch wouldn't lose any information.
