I would say that, yes, basically everyone would like to have the emacs
manual and the gdb manual in main.  However, there are a significant
number of people (though probably not a majority) who aren't happy
with it going in the way it is (with the invariant sections).

With that caveat, I would say that this is an excellent summary of the
discussion.
