Given that the year 200X is coming closer, I wonder whether the typical
Debian Ada user (to be defined) will be more interested in ISO Ada tools,
possibly including GtkAda, PolyORB and AWS (thinking of the SOA boom),
than in ISO ASIS based add-ons? If Ada is used in a commercial setting, 
using Debian as a development platform, then the vendor/support will
have a word with the customers as to whether to use Ada 200X in preference,
I guess, thus GCC 4.x. Is this the case?

A# (hence Ada for Mono, adding value for the commercial Ada programmer),
"Now compiles with GNAT GAP (Academic Edition) 1.0.0 (uses some Ada
2005 features)", that statement being made about the October 2004
version of A#. The latest release is from June this year. I take this
to be a trend indicator towards GCC 4.
