There is active development on MI, but mostly along the lines of
exposing various gdb features to MI clients, not changing MI syntax or
removing things.
While I don't think the compatibility mode is going to be removed any
time soon (IIRC there was a patch some time ago that went
unreviewed...), I would still advise simply using -interpreter-exec.
That will always work.
