Considering the C++ track record to date I would be more worried if I had a few
hundred thousand C++ sourcelines under maintenance than if they were in Ada.

With Ada I would not expect any major upheavals. With C++ anything could happen.

In the short term the risk of C++ could be view as small. In the long term I
don't know. If I had large amounts of legacy C++ code I would be worried.
