Sigh!

Within GDB, if someone wishes to remove an ISA or other body of code, 
they first propose it on a relevant list.  Then, if there is no 
objection, the relevant code is either yanked or (more typically) marked 
as obsolete.

Can you point me at the original posting (which I guess just went just 
to binutils).

Anyway, this change needs to be mentioned in the gdb/NEWS file.  Look 
for ``Removed'' for other examples.
