Not anymore ;-).

Seriously, now there are quite a bit of warnings (and maybe errors, not
sure) when processing only part of a document into Info.  For instance,
there is a warning if there is no Top node, if there is no node.  And 
there are many errors for @-commands outside of nodes (some are not
Info output specific).  Should we try to have a way to call texi2any 
without those warnings?  Like with a customization variable?  Or in a
more general way by providing with different levels of warnings? Or
should we just ignore that issue?
