I wasn't there obviously so I don't know the nuance of the
discussion. But the fact that nobody uses Excel on Linux means
we have a bit of freedom to decide what to return there since we
are not bound by the compatibility concerns, rather than just
declaring "we shouldn't change it". That'd be my take.

Of course, I don't have a skin in the game, so I'll leave the
final decision to whoever is more appropriate.

I remember hearing somewhere there is an official port of Excel
for linux (and I used to run it under Wine), so some people do.
<br>
<br>
Although whether the "official port" is Office 365 running in the
browser I don't know. Maybe I should try it, I do have a
subscription :-( See what it returns.

I just tried it, it is not recognized in the online version. This is
mentioned in the documentation as well: "<b class="ocpNote">Note: </b>The
INFO function is not available in Excel Web App."
