The sole objective for GDB 6 was to have GDB multi-arch. Since Joel has

Given this, I think the next release of GDB should be named ``GDB 6''.
In doing this, there is an oportunity to, identify as obsolete (but not
actually delete) a few extra bits.. The following come to mind:
- non event loop platforms
- DWARF (a.k.a., DWARF 1)
People with systems that rely on said features can always download the
GDB 5 series debuggers.
With regard to annotations, someone [me] still still has the
documentation and testsuite to update (....). That, I think is the only
``must have'' thing for the next GDB release.
What exactly do you mean here?
Annotations Level 2 will stay in gdb for version 6.0?
This would truly be a great thing.
