The number of patches does at least hint at the level of activity. As
for value, part of a value judgment is determining the cost.

Significant structural change, such as adding support for multiple
address spaces, moves more rapidly when there are fewer debug readers to
content with. These users potential loss is someone elses potential
gain. These users can also continue to use an existing GDB.
As someone (michael?) suggested, can these users move to Free compilers?
