I think there's no chance that situation will occur.
if sometime in the future gdb stops honoring MI7, then presumably
it honors a newer version, MI21. since your front-end knows
about MI21, then you don't care that MI7 is gone. so that's not
a problem.
if MI7 is the only version that a front-end knows, then that's a
strong argument against removing MI7, so that's not a problem
either.
