You might want to take a look at the gnu.org web site, which describes
this (and many other) aspect of the GNU project. Remeber, GDB is the
_GNU_ Debugger - part of a larger whole.
The GNU project's views disagree with you on the above.
Further discussion on this topic, however, seems to me to be off topic
for a GDB development list - especially gdb-patches. Take it to a
general GNU forum.
