Thanks.
It also occurred to me something else on the gdbserver patch.
I'll send a follow up.

It be easier for me to just see the patch before answering, but
I think I am, though I'd like to take another look at the docs
patch with everything combined, to cross check whether more
bits would be missing.
I think it'd be good to have a "RSP packets: how to add / best practices
how to document" wiki page/guide, serving as both guidance for
submitters and for cross checking for reviewers, mentioning
things like remembering to document the "set remote foo commands",
qSupported entries, NEWS, etc.
