I guess 8.4 should be fine. I've just checked the last couple of releases which suggest that 8.3 will be ready sometime next spring, close to the gcc 9 release. In that case, obsoletion/removal in gdb 8.4 is just fine. Initially I'd misremembered that gdb followed a procedure similar to gcc (obsoletion in one release, removal in the next), but the two being almost one step isn't a problem either.
