/**
 * Top-level class in the version hierarchy of implementations of {@link IGDBHardwareAndOS}.
 * <br>
 * Extenders should subclass this class for their special needs, which will allow
 * them to always extend the most recent version of the service.
 * For example, if GDB<Service>_7_9 is added, this GDB<Service>_HEAD class
 * will be changed to extend it instead of the previous version, therefore
 * automatically allowing extenders to be extending the new class.
 *
 * NOTE: Older versions of GDB that were already using an extending class,
 *       will automatically start using the new service version, which may
 *       not be desirable.  Extenders should update how they extend
 *       GdbDebugServicesFactory to properly choose the version of the
 *       service that should be used for older GDBs.
 *
 *       On the contrary, not using GDB<Service>_HEAD requires the
 *       extender to update how they extend GdbDebugServicesFactory
 *       whenever a new GDB<Service> version is added.
 *
 *       Extenders that prefer to focus on the latest GDB version are
 *       encouraged to extend GDB<Service>_HEAD.

 * @since 4.8
