fwiw, I've been able to work around corrupt, or otherwise not completely useful, core files by setting registers in non-innermost frames. Granted, I knew what was happening underneath the covers, so to speak, and I could have done things differently, but I like this capability.
If gdb had started out disallowing changing registers in non-innermost frames, we mightn't be thinking of restricting it now. "It's easier to relax restrictions than it is to impose them after the fact."
I'd like to hear more justification for this change.
