My reasons: . signal handling is different from basic functionality: it interacts with the kernel in new ways that "basic" gdb does not . i'm not qualified to maintain advanced signals tests, so i would like to segregate the signals tests to make it easier to delegate them to a different maintainer So I'm making a proposal: (1) Setup gdb.signals and mechanically move the signals files there. I would do this part, to make sure the mechanical move went okay. (2) Seek a new senior maintainer for the new gdb.signal. I would keep the maintainership until someone volunteers and is approved. Comments? I'm particularly interested in whether Andrew, who is writing much of the code, is strongly opposed, or only mildly opposed.
