Isn't this typical for a government project?!? 40,000 LOC and 2,500 pages
of documentation? Are you serious? 40,000 lines of code is 667 pages (at
60 lines per page). That's almost 4 pages of documentation per line of
code, even if your LOC counter doesn't count blank lines or comments as lines.
If ADA is such a wonderful, self-documenting, easy to code, easy to understand,
easy to maintain language (as the government claims it is), then why are 2,500
pages of documentation necessary?
