I agree that ignoring build problems is not a good idea, but I think that instead of removing invalid xref's (or even arguing about their usefulness), we should simply write the missing docs. Until the missing docs are written (assuming that the 1.30 change is reverted), you can work around the problem by saying make MAKEINFO='makeinfo --force'
