Their actual idea there largely represents a misunderstanding of the problem space. But regardless, it's a distraction from the prototype work that Oleg is doing now. The actual possibilities for code sharing between kgdb and something at all like what we're doing now are quite small. It's just not a problem at all to get prototyping progress done with a new implementation of the fairly trivial gdb remote protocol decoder, and contemplate consolidation later on. Thanks, Roland
