Texinfo is quite a bit harder to read/write than Org-mode. I understand your
point about central canonical documentation - and, indeed, that is
where it should end if it is any good.

For drafting tutorials, however, I prefer a more loose approach. Think
of it as a form of blogging. And when parts of it are good enough they
may end up in the main docs.

I am not questioning that. I am talking about writing tutorials. 

Anyway, I don't hear much enthusiasm for such a project.
