About my type of interest (I think not only mine): currently the only reasons
which would cause me to  switch to a newer version of GNAT than 3.14p:

1. Bugs found in old releases.

2. Improved speed of programs and speed of compilation, decreased 
executable size.

3. Extensions in GNAT.* library.

4. Better tools and docs provided with the compiler.

5. New good pragmas etc.

It means that even having the possibility to download a never version  of
GNAT, I will do it only before releasing some Ada software, not in the 
meantime. So I have interest but not now.

Also we need some ASIS programs, where AFAIK gcc 3.x does yet not 
support ASIS.
