Greenhills has said that none of their customers have asked for it where none is defined as just me and apparently some customers in Europe. If people don't ask, it will not happen. So, if you are considering them as a vendor, I'd recommend asking and then considering all aspects of what the vendors offer and vote with your money and select a vendor that at least shows some level of commitment to the features you find important. IBM (third hand) has indicated that some work is being done on Ada 2005 for the Rational Ada developer tools but I have not seen anything on their website or trade magazines. As far as I know the standard is still not fully official. The technical features have been approved. Not sure what is taking ISO so long to get it out the door at this point.
