Well.  Didn't even notice it get added to my checkout.  And there it
is, the remote thread debugging package Red Hat implemented years ago
that couldn't be released.

I assume that, given the name change, there is no plan for RDA to be
contributed to the FSF?  And that, as such, there can be no effort to
combine all this beautiful server architecture with the fact that we
have a working gdbserver implementation, and active development on it?

[Apologies if I come out a little bitter-sounding.  I had to do several
months of development based on the non-availability of this code.  And
now, when I'm trying to find an architecture by which I can merge the
gdbserver native support and the gdb native support, this beauty comes
along - and we can't use it.  I understand the realities of the
situation.]
