It seems a lot simpler to simply encourage Insight/GDB as it present stands, to be officially (or even semi-officially) considered as part of the GDB release, and maintained as interest allows along side if it; and remain complemented with the separately maintained TK/TCL library etc. as may be necessary in parallel; similar to the way it is now, but without the sigma of "it's dead" lying over it's head. (Although I'm personally not fan of TK/TCL, I seriously doubt any attempted re-architecture would end up being more productive than disruptive; so an in-place successive refinement seems simplest and most logical.)
