Indeed.  And on top of that, the attitude is extremely unkind to Nick.
I think Nick did a very good job[1] by introducing a feature that was
awaiting a volunteer for years (and continually contributes to GDB on
related issues).

In any case, bashing a volunteer for donating useful code is a bad
mantra; if someone thinks the code isn't good enough, they are free to
do better.

[1] I know people with a generally anti-Emacs orientation who, after
being shown "M-x gdba", told me that this single feature might
convince them to start using Emacs.
