The set of MI commands was decided before there really was any GUI
using them. We thought it would be a reasonable set of commands that
would allow a GUI to do what it needed. We decided to implement them
as the need would arise. It turned out in reality that not all those
commands were necessary.

I am not sure what Eclipse does in this case. You can look at the
debugger plugin code at http://www.eclipse.org/cdt. I suspect that
that information may come from some other part of the Eclipse IDE.

Realistically, not much else will go into 6.0, except bug fixes, since
6.0 will happen in a week or so. There is always 6.1.
