The important question is not even 'does the GNAT experience
bring people to Ada', but 'how many people does GNAT bring to Ada
vs how many might have been attracted by a different way (eg
carefully researched and directed advertising, bindings, etc)'
of spending a similar amount of money.  ie, bang for the buck.
  We need not hundreds of folks converted to Ada, but tens of
thousands.
