Well, I'm not considering what may or may not happen in Ada 1Z. If it has
the same ground rules as Ada 0Y has, then "not going to happen" is probably
accurate. But, in any case, in a business that moves as fast as the computer
business, the difference between "not sooner than 12-15 years from now" and
"not going to happen" is not particularly interesting.
