I am certain that their are other parts of the GNU system (like, perhaps, TeX), where the hackers in question don't follow GNU policies. In fact, Bazaar doesn't completely follow GNU policies (no texinfo documentation, and no real plans to generate it either). While TeX is part of the GNU system, it is not part of the GNU project. I hope that bazaar will adpot texinfo manuals soon, I think someone was working on that.
