We've tossed around the idea of making gdb a multi-threaded app for years, and for various reasons, we've decided against it. Therefore there is some inertia involved here, and you're not gonna sell the idea casually. I suspect that some of us are reluctant to jump into the discussion anew, with someone who doesn't have all of the history and context.
