Sorry, I'm against this change. People still have old versions of Texinfo installed, including those where texi2any was not even present. I understand what the Texinfo developers say as advice to people who install latest version of Texinfo, not as a general rule to other programs which invoke makeinfo. In practice, in latest versions, 'makeinfo' is just a copy (or even a symlink) to texi2any. So we gain absolutely nothing by this change, while the disadvantages for users who have old versions of makeinfo are clear and present. So let's not make this change.
