Thanks.
The one bit I think should still remain in the tree in some form,
is some of the info in the "Testsuite" node. This is is where
we document the board variables the testsuite parameters (INTERNAL_GDBFLAGS,
etc.) and board settings (gdb_server_prog, etc.), and those evolve over
GDB versions. Either keeping it as a small texinfo manual or simply
converting to a plain text testsuite/README is all the same to me.
Is there any plan for that?
(I'd dislike ending up in a situation we're we have no docs for those
anymore in the tree, and complaining if some patch doesn't document some
new option... And when things go through the wiki we can't put them back
in in principle.)
