I think the ARI is a useful tool for noticing potential problems in
gdb, but I don't think you should be using the ARI for making claims
about what is or is not acceptable in GDB.  If you can point to past
discussion(s) where this was decided, then that would be okay.  (I'm not
convinced that the ARI is a codification of all such past discussions.)

After all, the ARI also says "You can not take this seriously!"
