    If Karl or whoever could answer this question with a clear "no, these
    node pointers are never needed"

I believe Eli answered this, but to reiterate, it is only (very)
exceptional manuals which might need node pointers.

So if you're asking if texinfo-mode needs to keep supporting them, I
would say, definitely not.  In fact, I think it would be a good thing if
it didn't.  I have seen many authors have unnecessary problems due to
texinfo-mode inserting the node pointers.
