I'm sure we did so for @sc.  Unfortunately I cannot separate patches for
@sc and @acronym since they are often used in the same text.

As a side note, there were a number of inconsistent uses -- sometimes
@acronym{GNU}, sometimes @sc{gnu}, sometimes GNU, etc.  This is one of
the reasons why I feel it's better to simply avoid them; it's a whole
lot of trouble to actually get it right, and (IMHO) it's not anywhere
near worth the hassle.

        * coreutils.texi: avoid @acronym and @sc; they are unnecessary.

It seems you're using an older version, as Jim already did this:
