Huh? did you even read the message to which I was responding?  A user
asked why her ELisp function stopped working in Emacs 24.  That
function used "--annotate=3" switch to GDB.  I responded that since
Emacs 24 switched to using the MI interface to GDB, using --annotate
is expected to fail.

IOW, I was trying to explain why --annotate is not going to work.  Is
that something you consider unreasonable?

I made no comments for that suggestion, FWIW.  I hope you will not
consider my silence a vice.
