 ^^^^^^

I encourage you to study the Ada 9X documents and the Ada 9X
"marketing" literature (both of which are freely available from
the Ada 9X project office, and most of which are posted on
ajpo.sei.cmu.edu as well as the Ada 9X bulletin board), 
and to go to one of our many public presentations, and draw your own 
conclusions.

Obviously Jean Ichbiah is entitled to his own view of the 9X process,
the 9X product, and the related marketing efforts, but there are many other 
more impartial, informed observers whose views are worth considering as well.  

(I certainly don't consider myself impartial, so I will spare you my views.)
