Did you read the thread on gdb@?

GDB is a member of the GNU project and as such, it is expected to 
balance its own objectives against those of the larger GNU community.

If GDB doesn't fix a debugging problem in this release, it can can be 
fixed in the next release.

However, if GDB doesn't get the MI working quick smart, GDB maintainaers 
(i.e., you) will be stuck maintaining annotation level two from now 
until eternity.
