Well I tried to work out a happy middle ground, but it went unanswered.

Most packages that include an info also include a basic man that works fine.

For the handfull of packages that ONLY provide an info, why dont we
use info2man which I put in the AUR earlier to convert it at the
makepkg?

Then we get no info pages, people get their man pages, and everyone is happy.
