Au contrair (sp?) Greg.  Ada will survive "of the Mandate, for the Mandate,
and by the Mandate."  People inside the Mandated World care because it is
their job (which wouldn't exist without the Mandate) to care.  Look at
Straussman; he was so sure of the survival of Ada that he left his job
before his job left him.

Ada will survive because it is part of the Declaration of Ada-pendence.  ;-(
