What asher said. Man pages are convenient and man works nicely with other Unix command line tools. Info behaves more like a browser and plays by its own rules. Its not that I want to discourage anybody from using their preferred documentation resource. If a developer would rather spend their time writing info pages, that's okay. But at least dump it into a man page. Even an oversized man paged like the one for mplayer is preferable to a pithy page telling me to use info. If I want something with hyperlinks I'll check the web.
