I agree with that, but if the front-end programmer cannot become a GDB hacker, this approach might be impractical when he/she bumps into a few problems in the current MI code. That's what happened with the gdb-gui.el programmer for Emacs. So I think that if we want the front-ends to switch to MI ASAP, someone on the GDB maintenance team should work with front-end programmers on resolving the issues they raise. We need to be responsive to any bugs they report for them to get the feeling that MI's support solves their problems.
