One view I've heard is that the ACVC doesn't test compilers so much
as it tests compiler writers.  Their understanding, as demonstrated
by an implementation, of the language.
  I wonder what fraction of production Ada programs are actually
compiled with the validated version of the compiler, with the
validated compiler option settings, etc.  Or even with 'home
validated' versions.
