And broken.  From this info user's perspective, anyway.  

Info can't browse or search outside the node you're
directory. Splitting the toplevel node based on irrelevant (to info
users) criteria like whether the info node is from the NetBSD source
tree or an installed package is ... ghastly.  From an "integration"
perspective, it really sucks.  (Do you use info?)

Mind you, not getting the info nodes at all unless you install emacs.
