Does any distribution package the pdf versions of those files? Is there anyone who really wants the pdf version and does not have access to TeX? I guarantee you that if you only do some, someone will complain about the ones you did not do. So you'll have to do them all. And update all formats, at every release. > But why does `manual-html-mono' and `manual-html-node' only include > (by "makeinfo -I") `doc/emacs' and `doc/misc'? Because those are the only directories from which we need to pick up included files (emacsver.texi and texinfo.tex).
