Required texinfo version?

Since the commit 3fe8358ad59a (Merge, restoring Ben's GPLv3

It seems that XEmacs now requires a texinfo newer than 4.13, the version
available on, for instance, FreeBSD and NetBSD².
I don't think so. AFAIK, 4.13 is the newest, and in any case I can
confirm that that is what is installed on my Gentoo system and it
works fine. So something else is going on.
Is this on purpose, or would it be possible to stay compatible with
texinfo 4.13?
The changes to use more modern texinfo constructs were deliberate,
yes. I believe this was discussed on this list a few weeks ago, but
if not, I apologize and we'll try to be more careful in the future.
For more information you'll have to wait for Aidan to comment.
