Then you should submit a patch to remove all docs of annotations from
the manual, and try to convince us to accept it. Not documenting just
one piece is inconsistent and doesn't make sense.

Because annotations are generally documented, and because they are
still part of GDB. As long as annotations are part of GDB, I will
object to any user-visible change in them that is not documented in
the manual.
