IMHO, it definitely needs to be stated in a very visible place that level-2 annotations are deprecated. But I think it's more important to work on what's missing in MI, because it should be clear that as it currently stands, MI is not a complete solution to a GDB front end. I actually tried very hard to convince the gdb-ui developer to use MI from day one, but given the lack of support for CLI commands, and the fact that no one of the GDB developers stepped forward to add the missing features when gdb-ui was still in limbo, I had no alternative but to agree that for now, level-2 annotations are the only practical way to go.
