I concur.  What ACT is doing is unconscionable, dopey, and wrong.  
Besides, GNAT isn't Ada95 by a long shot.

To have seen Ed Schoenberg (ACT crony of Robert Dewar) as an Ada rep at 
TOOLS EUROPE '95 was enough to queer even the most casual observer on the 
efficacy of GNAT.  What a pill.  That was enough to drive anyone to C++.
The Ada community in Europe is in such bad shape that Rational and 
Thomson split the cost of having Professor Schoenberg there:  Team Puke.
