It was meant as a (bad) joke.

Don’t know. I don’t think we really exercise it’s capabilities much. I 
don’t know how much the current 3.9.x differs from the version we’re 
using. Probably not a lot of changes, but getting the warnings cleaned 
up is certainly nice.

It’s not much different from the fact that we still support texinfo 5.x 
even though there have been huge changes since then with texinfo 7.3. 
6.8 is the oldest version that actually generates half-decent HTML. 7.3 
let’s me do syntax highlighting for HTML, which I do use locally.
