gdb/doc/ has a separate ChangeLog file; please use that to describe
changes in the manual.

More importantly, I don't understand why we'd want to remove the
documentation of these functions.  Are we removing the functions as
well (I don't think I saw the code being removed)?  If we are not
removing the functions, why remove their docs?  You say that the
corresponding Guile functionality is superseded by setvbuf, but
doesn't it mean the GDB-specific capability based on that will be
rewritten using the new Guile features, and we can continue supporting
them?

Sorry for my confusion; perhaps more detailed log messages would have
prevented that.

Also, does any of this need to be called out in NEWS?

Thanks.
