About a year ago, somebody yelled at me for changing
"info lilypond" to be the Manuals node of lilypond-web.  I didn't
know (and didn't) care enough about info to really argue against
him, so I changed it back to this.

No, totally unintentional.

I have no opinion on whether "info lilypond" should give you a
choice of manuals, or the command-line info directly.  I see
strong reasons for both sides of this debate.

No reason other than "nobody added it to the build system".
