Yes (and I've explicitly posted to the list about this change, quite some time before
actually changing things). The situation is:

1. In current gdb, the token actually provides no information (since only
on run command can be active at a time).
2. No frontend author stepped in to say they care.
3. In non-stop mode, keeping the token is almost impossible.
4. The implementation of printing of the token was a mess.

Does it cause any problems for you?
