You probably know that the "official" texlive distributors
have decided to drop texinfo,  It is not included in their
distribution and they are on record as "not supporting it."
Due to the texlive folks, Fedora no longer includes TeX in
their distribution (as of FC14).  texlive runs their own
repository, but it is extremely hard to use.  For now,  Fedora
includes a texinfo that still works.  How this will unwind I am
not sure.

On my F14 "rpm -q texinfo texlive" gives

texinfo-4.13a-12.fc14.i686
texlive-2007-56.fc14.i686

and the changelog for texlive RPM doesn't seem to mention any perturbations. Can you explain what is the issue here?
