We're not going to drop annotations anytime soon, since supporting older versions of gdb is important. So in any case, we're talking about supporting *both* annotations and MI. Since as I stated in a previous message, MI has currently known limitations and drawbacks, I'm sure you'll agree that if you were in our situation, you would hesitate adding support for MI at this stage, and would rather wait for things to stabilize. Once MI has stabilized and provides a way to have a command line for end users, then it will indeed be reasonable to concentrate on MI only. Arno
