Yes, DEC has declined to enter the Ada 95 market directly, but no, this
is not an industry trend. In fact, DEC is working with another vendor
(I think I know who, but will decline until I am absolutely sure) who
will provide DEC's Ada 95 solution - at least that's what I heard they
were intending to do.
Pure speculation on my part is that DEC does not feel strong enough to
compete directly in the Ada 95 market, i.e. they don't consider Ada one
of their strategic technologies. As far as I know they still support
Ada 83 as well as they ever did.
