Hmmm?  Did I miss this discussion?

I'm not sure leaving breakpoints always inserted is a good idea.
If gdb becomes unexpectedly disconnected from the target/child, 
these breakpoints become an instant problem, and even if you
can manage to re-connect, it's not a given that you can then
remove them.

This can already happen (eg. if you have a remote target, and
you lose the serial connection while the target is in a "run"
state), but it seems like this change would increase the
likelyhood of this happening.
