I think there's no chance that situation will occur. if sometime in the future gdb stops honoring MI7, then presumably it honors a newer version, MI21. since your front-end knows about MI21, then you don't care that MI7 is gone. so that's not a problem. if MI7 is the only version that a front-end knows, then that's a strong argument against removing MI7, so that's not a problem either. --
