I use u(ntil) regularly :-)
One that did disappear that I used to use was e(nable), but presuably
it wasn't symmetric with d(elete).
Anyway, the reason behind the message is to make sure we do not allow
a single person's (or small group) opinion to sway gdb's UI. Particularly
when *changing existing* behavior.
As for me personally, muscle memory can be retrained, it just takes a
little time.
