I agree with that, but if the single vendor (which is not the case
today) is an Open Source company it is not so bad. If AdaCore closes you
still have the compiler and toolset sources. This must be compared to
the case where a closed source company closes where at this point
everything disappear except the current binaries for the running compiler.
