We have the Ada83 versus Ada95 problem as well.  In short, we plan to 
use the Ada83 subset of Ada95, so that in some future, we will be able 
to transition to Ada95, should the customer so desire.  This will 
happen, if at all, long after the present project is complete.  We are 
avoiding Ada95 for now, because we couldn't find sufficiently mature 
compilers, tools, runtimes, for our targets, and Ada83 is sufficient.  
If Ada83 is any guide, it will be three years before Ada95 reaches 
anything like Ada83's present level of maturity.  Ada83 took more like 
six years, but started from scratch.

The Ada95 standard defines this Ada83 subset, by what it doesn't mention 
as having been broken by Ada95.
