I do understand that there's desire from people to keep this around (from
an user perspective), but I guess this fundamentally misses Jonas' original
mail point.
lldb-mi has been unmaintained for a long time (at least the past two years
from what I can tell), and we tried to use it in emacs without success.
It has never been a priority for many of the parties putting effort in lldb
and I'm under the impression the situation won't change in the foreseeable
future.
Unless somebody steps up as maintainer I don't think there's a lot of
future for the tool.
Maybe a good compromise would be that of having lldb-mi living in a
separate repo somewhere on GitHub, as it only uses the SBAPI, which is
public and set in stone?
