Then lets try to remove the ones that can go. In 2003 Andrew introduced
level 3 annotations as a subset of level 2 (with the markup annotations
left out). Since then I have been using those quite happily with Emacs.

So, as far as Emacs is concerned, the annotations that are restricted to
level 2 in annotate.c, and this must be over half of them, can go.

Bob is this also the case for CGDB?

Emacs doesn't use breakpoints-invalid or frames-invalid either and they
spew out so often that it makes it hard to interrupt the inferior. However
I would like to keep them for the moment, as they provide clues as to where
to put code for event nortification in MI. Perhaps these could be restricted
to level 2.
