A question for package maintainers still using TexInfo < 5

[Julien Bect]

Hello all,

There is an ongoing discussion on this bug report: 
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?44899 which is related to the 
generate_html package.

The point is: there is a hack in several functions of the package 
(html_help_tex, texi2html) which is supposed to deal with a bug in 
makeinfo. The bug is longer present in recent TexInfo releases, and the 
hack has some unpleasant side effects.

Is there any package maintainer still using TexInfo < 5 ? If there is, 
could he or she join the discussion and see if removing the hack would 
cause any inconvenience ?
