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.
