That is a very low standard of helpfulness.  We should aim to be more
helpful than that, with our Info manuals.

That is true -- helping to make users aware of the GNU C Manual is not
particularly the mission of GNU Emacs.  But it is the mission of the
GNU system.  We -- the GNU Project -- ought to do a better job of this.

Unfortunately, the GNU Project has no Info Tsar whose job is to plan
changes in various GNU packages to bring the Info system to full
fruition.  Can some of us join a discussion about this, perhaos with
some Texinfo developers and others who might be helpful?

How about if those who are interested reply to me.  We can have the
discussion somewhere else.
