As a somewhat related, general remark: It would be nice if GDB documentation
tagged new features with the version in which they are first implemented.

From a frontend developer's point of view the decision which feature should
to be supported is often driven by what version of GDB common distributions
ship. Having a feature tagged as "new and officially supported in version
x.y.z" is a more robust approach than trying to deduce "official" blessing
from change logs, patches, and NEWS entries.
