Since ox-texinfo+.el has already been superseded by a better
implementation I don't think it should be added to Emacs.

And I don't think it makes sense to add the org file if some of the
code needed to produce the texi file are not available inside Emacs.
Eli would just have had to fix many more issues manually.

I would be in favor of moving the improved implementation from Org's
"main" branch to the branch that is synced with Emacs' "emacs-28"
branch, but as far as I know its too late for that because of the
feature freeze.
