To which I thought I had answered: Lots of improvements that
will
benefit many users. Just the NEWS sections is longer than I
remember
it to ever be. I'm sorry if you think that I'm cynical, but
I'm not.

Point taken.

In terms of learning from this thread: I interpreted your
questions
as vague general questions and I couldn't understand the
motivation
behind them. So I answered accordingly. Maybe I was naive,
maybe I
misinterpreted. But it doesn't matter. What matters is that
you know
how I operate, now.  So if you tell us right from the
beginning what
it is that you need, and why, we will answer your request a
lot faster.

I'm sorry, but I think you're using the wrong communication
channel.
Pinging the relevant parties on gdb-patches should be a lot
more
effective.

Hopefully they weren't vague, but they were deliberately
general because I
thought there were others who wanted similar bugs resolved
before the release,
and I tried to suggest a policy for future releases too.  As
no one supported
those ideas I moved to my specific issue.

I thought gdb-patches was primarily for the submission of
patches and gdb
for more general matters.  It's probably unimportant though,
as I guess the
global maintainers read both.
