Since I implemented the node hiding in the first place, I'm probably
biased here, but I honestly don't see why the description of the node
hiding needs a lot of changes to the documentation.

I would simply write -- early in the documentation -- something like
this:

----------------------- snip ------------------------

Notice that starting with GNU emacs version 21.5, the emacs info
reader usually replaces the elaborate menu and node references
desscribed in the following sections by simpler `hyperlinks'.  

If you prefer to see the elaborate references in emacs info too, you
need to customize the Info-hide-note-references variable.

What more do you need to say?
