After being confused by the event/hook/observer stuff while working on Python, I decided that I'd try to get rid of the deprecated event mechanisms. It never occurred to me that gdb maintainers might not want this, so I didn't ask about it first. Is it just annotations that you care about, or all the deprecated hook stuff? I think it all falls into the category of not-broken. Tom
