This is basically what I need to know. I've asked several times and
would very much appreciate an answer from the people that are capable of
giving it. (The answer could be a simple yes or no)

   * Will GDB support at least one stable MI protocol for an official release?
   (This answer is obviously "yes", and does not have to be answered)
   * Will GDB support more than one stable MI protocols for an official release?
   * Will GDB support one stable MI protocol for a CVS snapshot?
   * Will GDB support more than one stable MI protocols for a CVS snapshot?

BTW, The word "will" means that even if GDB supports only 1 official protocol currently, 
what about in the future?

These questions are a prerequisite in determining how my front end will
be able to interface with GDB. They are also a prerequisite to solving the
MI handshaking problem.
