No rush. I have written quite a few Free Software projects in Ada, and
haven't used "use package" once. Like Ada itself, many of the
development standards from the defense industry are good ones.

I know this is a contraversial subject, and I don't want to get into a
argument with those who think there's nothing wrong with "use
package". I'd just like to point out that there's no reason to loosen
a development standard you find sensible just because your client is
different.
