 That is not reality based. When a language standard is published there wil=
l effectively be code bases around that need to conform to that older stand=
ard and compilers need to be able to handle that. For example, the Intel Fo=
rtran compiler deals nicely with existing F77 code mixed with newer F90 and=
 later.

Just because the Ada 2012 standard exists does not mean 100% of the Ada com=
munity will adopt it today or even tomorrow.
