They should generally be excluded from the manual.  Feel free to ifdef
them away (using @ignore..@end ignore), with a comment saying that
they are not implemented yet.  If you don't have time, I will get to
that eventually.  Thanks for drawing my attention to this command; I
must have missed it when I excluded all the other unimplemented MI
commands while integrating gdbmi.texinfo into the manual.

I, too, prefer stabilizing MI to saying that it's unstable.  But if no
one steps forward to do the work, I see nothing wrong in warning users
that a particular GDB area is under construction.
