Michael Snyder went through a lot of them in 2010.  E.g.,

2010-06-02  Michael Snyder  <msnyder@vmware.com>

        * gdb.trace/actions.exp: Use gdb_test_no_output.
        * gdb.trace/circ.exp: Ditto.
        * gdb.trace/packetlen.exp: Ditto.
        * gdb.trace/save-trace.exp: Ditto.
...
2010-05-28  Michael Snyder  <msnyder@vmware.com>

        * gdb.reverse/break-precsave.exp:
        Replace uses of send_gdb / gdb_expect.
        * gdb.reverse/break-reverse.exp:
...
(many others)

We have a lot less remaining uses of gdb_expect in tests since, but
we do still have many more than I expected.  I'm a bit surprised;
I thought we had fewer:

early 2010 tree:
 $ find . -name "*.exp" | grep -v "lib/" | xargs grep gdb_expect | wc -l
 1849

vs current tree:
 $ find . -name "*.exp" | grep -v "lib/" | xargs grep gdb_expect | wc -l
 739
