Pedantically speaking, it is not compatible. Anybody can write that
comment in their .gdbinit today.

I don't really see a fundamental difference between compatibility of
file contents and compatibility of file extensions -- I consider them
both rather silly. But, in order to argue this way, I think you ought
to explain why the disparity is ok.

I stand by my view of the situation. That is why I withdrew the
patch. I respect others' views on this and, in return, I expect mine
to be respected.
