Check out the original thread where RMS officially suggested that Org
can be used instead of texinfo.

In short, Org provides much more configurable export output. You can
customize it using Elisp or within Org document itself. You can generate
parts of documentation using output of src blocks. You can fine-tune
specific export output formats using inline export blocks. etc ...
