Yes, that is a great idea! and it would make me even me happy!

GDB -i=list-protocols
mi1
mi2
mi3
annotate1
annotate2

There could be an interpreter that is only capable of outputting the
protocols of MI that it officially supports. We could document that it
will output one officially supported protocol on a line. This would make
me very happy. At the same time, we could output the annotate version
also.

Thanks,
