Well, we should be clear, here: the most recent Emacs release uses only annotation level 1. It's only a not-yet-released Emacs that has a just-added mode that uses annotation level 2. So if GDB were to delete annotate level 2 today, Emacs would not lose any functionality. (I am not suggesting that we delete annotation level 2 today, it's just a rhetorical device.)
