I guess there are two reasons for this then. The first being that there is
no easy Org-mode to texinfo conversion. The second reason being that
Org-mode still has less functionality than texinfo in terms of functionality
for document writing.
The reason for my post was simple. My thought was that if a tool is created
with the capability of doing a certain task, it would seem advantageous to
also be using that capability for the needs of the tool itself. Maybe in
some distant future there will be support for nice indexes (and appendices!
My personal request) also in Org-mode leading to someone writing a org ->
texinfo parser.
