Hey! It's just an *opinion*!  :-)

Of course dropping these would break existing code, as would dropping
pretty much any other language feature.

I'm just going by what I see used (or not used) in current-day Ada
software projects, open source and corporate, and that includes the
direction in which I've been seeing the maintenance coding of legacy
systems evolving in recent years.

YMMV.
