I can understand why you think this.
I have two things to suggest here.

First, in my experience with GDB, changes to the CLI are one of the most
hotly debated areas -- both what the user types and also what GDB
prints.  You can see any number of discussions about this in the
archives.

So, I think us developers do pay attention -- but maybe a funny kind of
attention, as we're used to the quirks of GDB CLI and expect additions
to be faithful to its traditions.

Second, feel free to comment on changes.  We try to make GDB as good as
we know how, but nobody has a monopoly on good ideas.
