The fix, if it is accepted, involves changing some of the calls to trampfn into calls to on of 2 or 3 other (new) macros. I don't see anything non-trivial here, certainly not something that could potentially destabilize the branch. But it's your call. > The manuals are pre-built in the release tarfile, so it's > not a big deal if one doesn't build with the latest Texinfo. This argument goes both ways: since they are pre-built, any problems with the non-trivial fix will be solved before the release is tarred. The advantage is that users can modify the manual and still produce the Info files.
