 ;; M-x gdb will start the debugger.
 
-;; This file uses GDB/MI as the primary interface to GDB.  It is still under
-;; development and is part of a process to migrate Emacs from annotations (as
-;; used in gdb-ui.el) to GDB/MI.  It runs gdb with GDB/MI (-interp=mi) and
-;; access CLI using "-interpreter-exec console cli-command".  This code works
-;; without gdb-ui.el and uses MI tokens instead of queues. Eventually MI
-;; should be asynchronous.
-
-;; This mode will PARTLY WORK WITH RECENT GDB RELEASES (status in modeline
-;; doesn't update properly when execution commands are issued from GUD buffer)
-;; and WORKS BEST when GDB runs asynchronously: maint set linux-async on.
-;;
-;; You need development version of GDB 7.0 for the thread buffer to work.
-
-;; This file replaces gdb-ui.el and is for development with GDB.  Use the
-;; release branch of Emacs 22 for the latest version of gdb-ui.el.
