 About xgdb...
 
-Hopefully a new xgdb will be in 4.x.
+xgdb is obsolete.  We are not doing any development or support of it.
 
-xgdb.c was provided to us by the user community; it is not an integral
-part of the gdb distribution.  The problem of providing visual
-debugging support on top of gdb is peripheral to the GNU project and
-(at least right now) we can't afford to put time into it.  So while we
-will be happy to incorporate user fixes to xgdb.c, we do not guarantee
-that it will work and we will not fix bugs reported in it.  See
-XGDB-README for one person's opinion about what is wrong with the
-current xgdb.  Someone is working on writing a new XGDB, so improving
-(e.g. by fixing it so that it will work, if it doesn't currently) the
-current one is not worth it.
