The crashinfo man page now references the gdb port/package, and crashinfo itself emits a message that the port/package should be installed if kgdb is not found. GDB's proposed retirement has now been added to https://wiki.freebsd.org/DeprecationPlan. I expect to make GDB default to NO next week, and then remove it from the tree a week or two later, if there is no compelling objection.
