One way to deal with manual page breaks being user freindly for changes in the 
future might be to put them after each sub or longish subsub section. The 
layout wouldn't be as nice as this way, but still much better than texinfo's 
default spacing.

    It looks great in html, and I get the feeling texinfo was not meant for 
image heavy documents in pdf, so take your pick an ugly pdf or an ugly code. I 
personally feel it wouldn't be too hard to work around the page breaks, only an 
extra 5 min of your time.

You're right.  Adding manual page breaks makes maintenence harder, but is 
sometimes necessary.
For this reason it's normally done as the last thing just before a release.

At any rate, in this case, it should certainly be done after the chapter has 
been incorporated into 
the manual, since doing that has the potential to change where the page breaks 
should go.
