I've not said that it's not desirable, but that its not a trivial task and I
think there are more immediate and important goals.  Moving over to GDB/MI
aligns us with GDB development and will make a much more reliable interface.
Since gdb-ui.el uses annotations, it hangs together on a wing and a prayer,
and every time GDB developers change CLI output, which they have every right
to do as its intended for the user and not the front end, it may break.

Moving over to GDB/MI will change the lisp code considerably, so if someone
wants to do that twice: once for gdb-ui.el and once for the new code, thats
fine.
