The reason I and several other posters wore out your patience asking
what you meant by this statement was so that we could determine whether
your statement was false or was just badly stated.

If you are referring to the instruction sets of computers, your
statement is false.  The Ada standard says nothing of the sort.

If you are referring to extensions to the Ada programming language, they
were indeed prohibited.  This prohibition has nothing to do with the
extended instruction set of a particular computer such as the VAX.
