They're waiting for the GDB bits (including the MI patch which is in my queue) to become available, which is why I want to get this resolved one way or another. It's a little ironic that Eclipse folks, who don't care about command-line syntax, are being blocked on a discussion of command-line syntax. :-)

If everybody is tired of the issue, I'll just make a decision; things can always be changed later.

What kind of decision? What would exactly be the alternative?



To pick one of "info os" and "info linux". I don't think there are many other credible alternatives; the subcommand should be a single short word, with the rest of the work to be done by subsubcommands and/or arguments. "info unix" or "info posix" would qualify, but historically we've tended to avoid using those terms in GDB commands, and one could argue that they have the same vagueness/overloading issue that "os" does.
