Only my two cents, but I don't like thinking about the situation this
way. If we want to give users the best experience, we need to be
aggressive about taking advantage of newer features in GDB.
I think that's an over simplification of this particular situation.
Taking advantage of a new feature is one thing. Altering something as
fundamental as how the debugger interacts with gdb (for all commands)
in order to address one particular issue...that's another story. Now,
I think the issue in this case is serious enough to warrant
considering the option, but it makes sense to me that we would be
cautious, even hesitant.
