Michael, As I stated in my cover note, gdb/1560 for instance is a regression since GDB _5.0_. Trying to list regressions is of little value. We need to make judgement calls here and identify the issues that are going to hurt the user (and provide workarounds?). Giving this file meaningful titles (so users don't have to wade through irrelevances such as gdb/1512) is a first step. > I'm willing to abide by whatever Eli, the maintainer, decides.
