Despite the wording in the LRM, one of the
language maintenance committee decisions somewhere
along the way required that the tasks dependent
on library packages be allowed to complete
before the program as a whole was ended.

The current (1.9) ACVC test suite includes
tests which require that library tasks are NOT
terminated by the completion of the main subprogram.
The operating system must wait for such tasks to complete
on their own or for all of them to reach terminate alternatives
before abandoning execution.
In particular c94004a.ada and c94004b.ada make it clear
that a library task must be allowed to complete.
These tests refer to (revised) AI-00399 which I presume
explains the rationale for this requirement.
