??? How's the .gdbinit file that comes with Emacs "malicious"? I find
it indispensable, including during the past 2.5 years, when I needed
some heavy debugging of the Emacs display engine.

If that's really so (and I don't think I agree), then we should simply
stop distributing that file, not under the name .gdbinit anyway.
But using these use-cases, even if all of them indeed suffer from bad
.gdbinit files, to deprive users of having helpful init files in the
source tree is really excessive, IMO.
