Given how obsolete FPA is, I would be fine with removing it in this
release.  It would be good practice to send an announcement on
gdb-announce, like the wiki says.  We don't do it often, but if we did
it often, perhaps we'd be less scared of doing it, it would become more
a routine thing.

I agree with Pedro that this patch should ideally not change the
register layout for when not using XML.  However, it's also fine to have
a plan to stop supporting non-XML-using targets eventually, if that's
what we want.

Simon
