In the man/ directory there's a file, emacs-xtra.texi, which creates an
Info file that "contains detailed information about various features that
are too specialized to be included in the Emacs manual". Currently, this
is around 250 lines documenting (i) auto-reverting non-file buffers and
(ii) subdirectory switches in Dired.
Is this file really necessary? The file is short enough to be easily
merged into the Emacs manual.

The idea behind introducing it was that any docs for features that are
minor or too obscure or unimportant to have in the main manual (and
thus save some of those trees in rainforests when the FSF prints the
manual for sale) will go into this file. That is, this file is
supposed to grow, and thus it is indeed necessary.
