My idea of open source Ada projects targeted for end users was that
they could "force" more Ada stuff into distributions and make Ada
more popular in that way. For example, a decent GtkAda application
could attract users who would then demand the application and the GtkAda
library to be bundled with their favourite Linux distribution.
