I don't see much advantage to that, outside of a classroom
environment.  These embedded systems connect to actual hardware, and
very often perform closed loop control.  And every situation will be
different.  I know I would want to connect real hardware to my real
inputs and outputs and perform real, live control, if I had any hopes
of selling Ada to the group.
