Can you explain the rationale?  IOW, when does the current code not
doing its job?

The fact that makeinfo invokes texi2any is an internal implementation
detail of the Texinfo project, and I wouldn't want us to depend on
that without a very good reason.  E.g., once upon a time, makeinfo was
a standalone program written in C, and nothing prevents the Texinfo
folks from doing that again in some future release.

Thanks.
