[CCing Patrick, maintainer of Insight] AFAIK, we are doing a best effort of keeping Insight happy. I've adapted some of my patches and Insight in the past to keep Insight building, and it was not an effort of significant size (things like changing a function signature). However, I think we are in a weird position where we have some deprecated features used by a program that we don't want to break, but that will most likely not change to stop using these features. If we want to exit that endless loop some day, I guess Insight should be converted to use MI, like other frontends.
