My thoughts exactly.

Xbios one has been stated as deprecated for years
in the debugger part of the manual, but from start
of this year it's been listed as deprecated also
in the release notes.

Any debugger invocations should use NatFeats.
There's plenty of documentation and example code
for using NatFeats, and Hatari has already option
for enabling it *and* automated tests.
