I don't think there'll be a problem with Dwarf 1 going. I do seem to
remember working with mdebug more recently, so I'm less sure about
that.
If we do deprecate these things, I think GDB should squawk whenever it
sees them. I think the lesson to be learned from the "annotation
level two" story is that simply putting an item in NEWS isn't enough
to get people to warn us if they're unhappy about a deprecation.
Perhaps, even after support for those formats is removed, GDB should
continue to print a message like, "This executable file contains some
debugging information in the Dwarf 1 format, which GDB is no longer
able to read."
