I wonder why there is the warning in mh-customize.el if Info-goto-node
currently has an autoload cookie in info.el?

autoload for Info-goto-node was added in info.el to avoid errors in
packages that don't call (require info) and don't autoload Info-goto-node
before calling Info-goto-node.
If `info' is the preferred method instead of `Info-goto-node',
autoload could be removed from info.el after replacing `Info-goto-node'
with `info' in all places in Emacs source code and mentioning the preferred
method in the NEWS file and Info documentation.
