I think a gnu hierarchy would be a better place for any extension,
because I have seen the mess comp.lang.pascal got into by being
extended. Presumably people who get to a gnu hierarchy have some
idea for finding their way around the hierarchy, but I think the
comp.lang attracts more confused folks.
I believe the rules require that addition of comp.lang.ada.whatever
result also in relocation of comp.lang.ada to comp.lang.ada.something.
I would hate to see mainstream Ada discussions demoted to a ".misc".
