We need to differentiate between AVR8 and AVR32.  I'm told that RTEMS size is in the hundreds of kB, so I'd guess their port is AVR32.

Getting Ada with simple tasking on AVR8 would be nice just because of the large Arduino world, but I don't see any big reason to focus on AVR32.  Unless, of course, somebody has an AVR32 board and wants to do the work. :)
