There is now.  Tom Tromey has kindly installed a package called gdb-mi in his
Emacs Lisp Package ArchiveEmacs Lisp Package Archive
(http://tromey.com/elpa/)

It comprises of modified gud.el and a file called gdb-mi.el which replaces
gdb-ui.el.

When installed, this overrides the current files and invoking M-x gdb will
use GDB/MI directly (starts with "gdb -i=mi").  When deleted ('d' followed
by 'x' in Package Menu mode) the files are deleted and old functionality
restored.

So this provides a convenient way to review the current status/contribute
to its improvement.  For someone who just wants to use GDB, however, the
current mode in Emacs 22 is a much better option.
