That's absolutely right, I don't think it would affect sales one way or
another, but as I explained in my previous note, that is not the reason for
our hesitation to prematurely do public releases of insufficiently tested
versions of GNAT.
We are perfectly aware that there are enthusiasts who would like to get their
hands on the latest technology, and don't care if it has problems. But that is
not the public we are addressing in making public versions of GNAT available.
