We're not against upgrading at all, however we only upgrade when there's
a need.  QED, if you'd like to submit patches to upgrade, we'll happily
review and install them.

  Subject: version of makeinfo in -current
  
  Would anyone object to upgrading the version of makeinfo in the
  current source tree?  It is quite old.  Its behaviour is totally
  different from the newer version when certain options are specified,
  and it has bugs.  
  
  I can perform this upgrade.
  
  This seems to be a recurring thing for me to mail the lists, I'm 
  using FreeBSD as a development machine, and every piece of GNU software
  I use I have to install from the current release, its kind of annoying.
