Whoa, I don't think it matters if FE's are using this feature. Read the
manual,

  This mechanism is provided as an aid to developers of GDB/MI clients and not as 
  a reliable interface into the CLI. Since the command is being interpreteted in an 
  environment that assumes GDB/MI behaviour, the exact output of such commands is 
  likely to end up being an un-supported hybrid of GDB/MI and CLI output.
