Well, that's true, but we in Emacs are staring at fixed-pitch text all
day long, and are supposed to be used to it.

I don't think I'd object to something like Info-variable-pitch-mode,
as an optional minor mode, but it could be quite a lot of work, since
we have other faces in Info manuals that should look well with such a
default.
