But I was, in the message you replied to.
My message was talking about  whether the proposed patch
should default to the ASCII transformation.  Doing that
would leave the original Emacs bug unfixed by default,
which is undesirable.

Ah, OK, but neither of those approaches is suitable
for the Emacs manuals in the long run, after the
feature freeze is over.  And in the short run we
can just leave the files alone, and build the
next release tarball with Texinfo 4.
