If we are going for Ada, that almost means we need to take care the project for its lifetime, either by directly support it, or by training new staff to do so. Currently we are still not in any size or shape to think that far. But I can't help thinking that, by using Ada, we are ruling ourselves from even thinking offloading maintenance to anybody. I don't know if that is a bad thing, though.
