    GDB developers are working to resolve all known issues with MI that 
    would block EMACS(1).  We really don't want to be in a situtation where 
    we're forced to prop up the level two annotations.

I support the goal of making Emacs use MI, but it may take some time
before this works, since it requires changes in GDB and bigger changes
in Emacs.  Please don't drop support for the annotations until this
works.
