Just to re-iterate a point: GDB's releases are time rather than feature
based.
- in the past attempts to do feature based releases have gone badly off
the rails. This 6.0 release had some annotate related features and it,
consistent with the form, has also suffered schedule problems
- the general intent is, once the branch has been cut, only fixes get
pushed onto it. The late completion of the annotate stuff has blured
this, as has the frame stuff, but the general intent is still there.
New features go into the mainline, and people wanting the features can
pick it up from there.
