I don't see why we should conceal the maint commands from users: what
damage can that possibly cause?
We also shouldn't second-guess what they need: it's perfectly possible
that some maint command could be useful to some user, somewhere. If
those commands aren't in the user manual, users will never find them.
OTOH, having these commands in the user's manual doesn't present any
disadvantage to the GDB developers.
