My position is that it ultimately needs some sort of blessing from the vendors and/or distribution with their compilers or its Just Another Ada Library hanging around on the internet somewhere along with a few dozen or hundred others that have no general acceptance. But if you want to go create Yet Another Ada Library, go right ahead. In my mind, Ada doesn't really need another Quixotic, semi-supported, overlapping library with no official standing and an uncertain batch of users. I'd prefer not to waste my time by making another library that will get mixed reviews and no acceptance as "The Thing". That's why I want to see some kind of "Official" standing - and its pretty clear (to me at least) who needs to get on board to make it "Official" in some way.
