Comments from my part: 1. texinfos need special preparation to be able to convert them to html. This applies to many cases, but does not apply in general. 2. html is just one amongst many formats texinfos can be (if the texinfos have been prepared for) converted to. I don't see any reason to give html preference over one of the other formats. It's some people's preference, but definitely not all (e.g. I prefer pdf). 3. Many of these html docs are available on-line - Adding local copies to Fedora only adds bloat to the distro 4. The GNU standards's officical documentation format is info. That said, should FPC vote on this, this proposal will receive a hard and non-negociable NO from my side.
